Re: AT&T Claim for Refund of Property Taxes
This Office has received claims for refund of property taxes
for the 1986-7 tax year , filed on behalf of AT&T of California,
and AT&T, Interstate division. The claims seek refund of a total
of approximately $65, 000 in taxes , based on alleged improper
valuations by the State Board of Equalization, which assesses
telephone utilities . The allegations of the claim will have to be
addressed by the State Board -of Equalization, which will defend
against the claim and any subsequent lawsuit. Accordingly, we
recommend the claims be denied.
