As amended through November 4, 2024
(A)Subpoena for Taking Depositions--Place of Examination. Proof of service of a notice to take a deposition as provided in Trial Rules 30(B) and 31(A) constitutes a sufficient authorization for the issuance by the clerk of the Tax Court or by the clerk of court for the county in which the deposition is to be taken of subpoenas for the persons named or described therein. The subpoena may command the persons to whom it is directed to produce designated books, papers, documents, or tangible things which constitute or contain matters within the scope of the examination permitted by Trial Rule 26(B), but in that event the subpoena will be subject to the provisions of Trial Rules 26(C) and 45(B).(B)Subpoena for a Hearing or Trial. At the request of any party, subpoenas for attendance at a hearing or trial shall be issued by the clerk of the Tax Court when requested, or, in the case of a subpoena for the taking of a deposition, by the clerk of the Tax Court or by the clerk of the court in the county in which the deposition is being taken. A subpoena may be served at any place within the state; and when permitted by the laws of the United States, this or another state or foreign country, the Court upon proper application and cause shown, may authorize the service of a subpoena outside the state in accordance with and as permitted by such law. (C) Contempt. Failure by any person without adequate excuse to obey a subpoena served upon him may be deemed in contempt of the Tax Court or the court from which the subpoena was issued, or of the court of the county where the witness was required thereunder to appear or act. The attendance of all witnesses when duly subpoenaed, and to whom fees have been paid or tendered as required by law may be enforced by attachment. Amended October 30, 2014, effective 1/1/2015; amended August 9, 2018, effective 9/1/2018.
