NOTE: Repealed by Acts 2008, No. 822, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 2010.
In any proceeding to determine the amount of the inheritance tax due the state, when the amount claimed by the tax collector is contested by the heir or legatee, and the court renders judgment for the State for an amount larger than that admitted by the heir or legatee to be due, the court may award the State a reasonable fee for each expert witness used in the proceeding by the tax collector, to be taxed as costs of court. If, in such a case, judgment for the inheritance taxes due is rendered against two or more heirs or legatees, the reasonable fee allowed for each such expert witness shall be assessed against each of the heirs or legatees in proportion to the amount of inheritance tax determined to be due by each.
The tax collector may pay each such expert witness the reasonable fee allowed by the court, upon receipt of payment thereof by the heir or legatee.
Added Acts 1962, No. 114, §2; Acts 2008, No. 822, §1, eff. Jan. 1, 2010.
