The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court recently held in The First Marblehead Corporation v. Commissioner of Revenue (âFirst Marblehead IIâ), 475 Mass. 159 (2016), that securitized loans of GATE Holdings Inc. (âGateâ) were properly sourced to Gateâs commercial domicile in Massachusetts for purposes of computing Gateâs property factor for Massachusetts financial institutions excise tax (âFIETâ) purposes, and that the FIET, as applied to Gate, satisfies the internal consistency test.
