Union Pacific's $2.6M Software Tax Not Unfair, 7th Circ. Told
Wisconsin didn't discriminate against Union Pacific in levying a $2.6 million tax on the railroad's computer software while exempting other industries because federal precedent doesn't require equal carveouts, the state Department of Revenue told the Seventh Circuit on Wednesday.
