Subject: Analysis of Complete Auto Transit, Inc., v. Brady
There are certain situations where the tax law is keenly scrutinized to avoid close shaves with authorities. States in this country are typically granted almost absolute power to implement taxation on any income generating activity within their respective confines. There is however, an extent to which states can exercise these taxing powers, based on the dictations of the constitution. The constitution utilizes the commerce clause to essentially provide the limits upon which states can do this. It hands back authority on how states can tax entities, back to the congress, thereby providing a significant level of control on how states tax interstate commerce; reducing possibilities of excessive or oppressive taxation schemes by states. To further understand the complexities of state taxation, it is important to use the case example of Complete Auto Transit, Inc., v. Brady.
