The Multi-State Tax Commission

The Multistate Tax Commission is a joint agency of state governments established to improve the fairness, efficiency and effectiveness of state tax systems as they apply to interstate and international commerce, and preserve state tax sovereignty.

The Commission was created in 1967 through the Multistate Tax Compact, an interstate compact statute enacted by each Compact Member State. The Commission is comprised of the principal tax administrator of each Compact Member State acting as the representative of the state in its entirety.

The Commission studies state tax issues and recommends to states uniform tax laws and regulations that apply to multistate and multinational enterprises. Greater uniformity in multistate taxation helps ensure that interstate commerce is neither undertaxed nor overtaxed and helps reduce the potential for Congress to preempt or unduly limit state taxing authority.

The Commission further encourages uniformity and helps avoid double taxation through a Multistate Alternative Dispute Resolution Program that enables a taxpayer to resolve a common tax issue with several states at once.

The Commission also protects state taxing authority through active participation in significant court cases and through educating Congress about state tax authority and interests.

The Commission encourages proper compliance by businesses with state tax laws. It maintains a Joint Audit Program that audits businesses for several states at the same time. This program also contributes to more uniform taxpayer treatment and helps states learn about emerging industry trends. The Commission administers the National Nexus Program that encourages businesses that are not registered with states, but should be, to comply with state tax requirements. The program helps states and taxpayers understand nexus standards and works with states to improve the clarity of those standards.

The Commission's headquarters office is located at 444 N. Capitol St. NW, Suite 425, Washington, DC 20001. [Phone: (202) 624-8699, Fax: (202) 624-8819. E-mail: mtc@mtc.gov. Website: www.mtc.gov ] The Commission also maintains audit offices in Chicago, New York and Houston.
