Authority: RSMo 32.220

Function:
The Multistate Tax Commission encourages states to adopt uniform tax laws and regulations that apply to multistate and multinational enterprises. Greater uniformity in multistate taxation reduces compliance burden for multistate businesses, helps ensure that interstate commerce is neither under-taxed nor over-taxed and lessens the possibility that Congress will intervene in state taxation.
