The U.S. Supreme Court has been asked to review a decision by New Jersey’s Division of Taxation to impose taxes on the sale of a company’s assets in other states.

The disputed taxes, imposed on the sole owner of Godwin Pumps after it was sold to ITT Corp. for a reported $585 million in 2010, resulted in the imposition of an additional $19 million in taxes by New Jersey on the company’s former owner, John Paz.
