Supreme Court reaffirms royalty is not in the nature of tax as review petition filed dismissed


Quick Summary
The Supreme Court has dismissed a review petition concerning royalty payments. The court previously ruled that royalty paid to the government is a contractual consideration, not a tax, even if statutes allow for its recovery. This latest decision upholds that original judgment.
