I meant was this a specific bill that caused Tolkien to 'reluctantly' agree to sell the rights, as is implied in this excerpt from Timesonline (and elsewhere).

No one said otherwise. I'm looking to see if any tax bill was really part of the scenario here, as far as Tolkien's ultimate decision; especially as this story seems to give it prime importance.
