Atkinson Trading Co. v. Shirley | 532 U.S. 645 (2001)
In Atkinson Trading Company versus Shirley, well see whether an Indian tribe can impose a tax on non member hotel guests who stay on non Indian fee land within the tribes reservation.
In nineteen sixteen, Hubert Richardson purchased land in Arizona from the United States government and built the Cameron Trading Post. In nineteen thirty four, the boundaries of the Navajo Nation reservation expanded, which brought the trading post into the reservation boundaries.
However, Richardson still owned his land in fee. Over time, Richardson also built a hotel and restaurant at the trading post. Atkinson Trading Company later became the owner of the property.
In nineteen ninety two, the Navajo Nation enacted an eight percent hotel occupancy tax for all hotels located within the reservations boundaries.
Hotel guests had a legal responsibility to pay the tax. However, hotel owners had to collect the tax from the guests and submit the revenue to the Navajo tax commission. The Cameron Trading Post Hotel paid about eighty four thousand dollars of hotel taxes every year.
Atkinson challenged the tribes authority to impose the tax under the United States Supreme Courts holding in Montana versus United States.
In Montana, the court held that Indian tribes dont have civil authority over nonmembers on non Indian land within a reservation unless the nonmembers entered into a consensual relationship with the tribe or a nonIndians conduct on the non Indian land threatens or affects the tribes political integrity, economic security, or health or welfare.
A tribes civil authority includes its ability to tax nonmembers. The Navajo tax commission and the Navajo supreme court rejected Atkinsons challenge to the hotel tax. Atkinson then sued Navajo tax commission members, including Joe Shirley in district court. The district court upheld the tax. Atkinson appealed, but the court of appeals affirmed the district courts holding. The court of appeals held that the hotel tax fell under the first Montana exception.
The court found that there was a consensual relationship between nonmember guests and the tribe because guests could stay off reservation and not pay the tax.
Also, the tribe provided certain services to the hotel and its guests, such as tribal police, fire, and medical services. Atkinson appealed again, and the United States Supreme Court granted cert.
