EARL R. BYERS, SR.,
DECEASED
) No. 691 of 1971.
)
)
PETITION 'ro APPEAL TRANSFER INHERITANCE TAX ASSESSMENT
'ro THE HONORABLE, THE JUDGES OF SAID COURT:·~
The petition of Earl R. Byers, Jr., respectfully repre-
sents:-
First. Earl R. Byers died June 21, 1971, a resident of
Washington County, Pennsylvania, and having made his Last Will
and Testament duly probated in the Office of the Register of
Wills of said Washington County in Will Book Volume 112, page
234~ in which .he named your petitioner as his sole beneficiary.
A copy of said Last Will and Testament is attached hereto and
marked Exhibit "A".
Second. Letters testamentary were granted to your peti-
ner on July 7, 1971, and he proceeded to administer the said
estate.
Third. On or about November 4, 1971, a return on Form No.
RCC-33 was made to the Bureau of County Collections, Department . .
of Revenue of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, containing, inter . .
alia; the following assets and values:-
Employees' Profit Sharing Plan
Adelman Lumber Company
13th & Smallman·streets
Pittsburgh, Pa.,
Employees' Pension Plan
Adelman Lumber Company
$ 8334-40
5412.67
Fourth. The decedent was an employee of the said Adelman
Lumber Company at the time of his death and was not entitled to
any part of the above plans until his retirement.
Fifth. On December 6, 1971, your petitioner received a
Notice of Filing of App!aisement from the Bureau of County Col-
lections aforesaid under date above. A.copy of said Notice is
attached hereto and marked Exhibit "B".
Sixth. Thereafter, your petitioner learned that the pro-
ceeds of the above mentioned Employees' Profit Sharing and Pen-
sion Plans , under the written contexts of the plans, were pay-
able to your petitioner as the sole heir of the decedent and not
as the Executor and, on January 26, 1972, filed a protest with
the said bureau.
Seventh. In reply, the Bureau s t;~ a ted that proof would be
required that the decedent was an employee of the Adelman Lumber
Company and that, under its plans, the proceeds were payable to . . -
your petitioner as sole heir-~t-law.
Eighth. After the above information and proof had been
furnished, the Bureau further requeste~ the amount of the total
distributions under the two plans contributed by employer and
also copies of qualification with the Internal Revenue Service.
Ninth. This latter request your petitioner felt was no~
pertinent th~s matter and he declined to furnish such requests.
Tenth. Whereupon, the Bureau, under date of November 10,
1972, denied the Protest. Acopy of said Denial is attached here-
to and marked Exhibit "C".
Eleventh. Your petitioner feels that the Denial is based
upon irrelevant grounds and is unjust to him.
Wherefore, your petitioner asks leave to appeal the Trans-
fer Inheritance Tax Appraisement.

)
No. 691 of 1971
ANSWER TO PETITION FOR APPEAL FROM TRANSFER
INHERITANCE TAX ASSESSMENT
John M. Duff, Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, files this
answer to the petition of Earl R. Byers, Jr. for appeal from the imposition
of Pennsylvania Transfer Inheritance Tax on the items enumerated in
paragraph Third of the petition:
First. In order to sustain a claim for exemption from inheritance tax,
petitioner must follow the provisions of section 316 of the law (72 P. S.
~ 2845-316) which provides, inter alia,:
"Payments under . . profit sharing . plans
are exempt from inheritance tax to the extent that
decedent before his death did not otherwise have the right to
possess . . enjoy, assign or anticipate the payments so
made, and . [and/ or] such payments are also exempt from
;inheritance tax to the same extent as such payments are exempt
from Federal estate tax . "
Second. In paragraphs Eighth and Ninth of the petition, petitioner
avers that he furnished the Bureau of County Collections of the Pennsylvania
Department of Revenue with no proof whatever complying with that section
of the act cited above with reference to the requirements of federal law.
Third. Petitioner has therefore failed to sustain his burden of proving
the exemption from inheritance tax which he claims, and his claim for
exemption should therefore be dismissed unless he can satisfactorily
establish that the plans under which he claims fall within the provisions of
the aforesaid section 316.
