Multistate Bar Examination Practice Question
A state law that directly taxes a federal agency's property is constitutionally valid as long as the tax is applied uniformly to all properties within the state.
False
True
A state law that directly taxes a federal agency's property is constitutionally valid as long as the tax is applied uniformly to all properties within the state.
False
True
The statement is false because the federal government and its agencies are constitutionally immune from direct state taxation. This principle arises from the Supremacy Clause, which ensures federal functions are not undermined by state laws. A state cannot directly tax federal property or operations, regardless of how the tax is applied. Uniform application does not overcome the constitutional prohibition against such taxation. However, certain taxes not directly targeting federal property, like nondiscriminatory taxes on private entities working with the government, might be permissible.
