The decision allows states to cooperate through the Multistate Tax Commission (MTC) to deter mine taxes due by interstate businesses. Twenty-one states, including Oregon, are members of MTC. Several corporations filed suit against MTC contending that it was not a legal entity. They said that such an agency is unconstitu tional unless Congress enacts specific legislation to create the agency. The court disagreed. The dispute was triggered by the commission's joint audit pro gram. Under this program, an audit team of MTC audits state tax returns of a corporation for several states at the same time. The states maintain that this greatly increases their enforcement capabilities. Oregon has collected nearly half a million dollars from several corporations as a result of MTC audits. Lobdell says the court decision should enable MTC to perform audits on more corporations and will increase state corporation tax revenues with very little additional cost to the state. Lobdell was recently elected vice-chairman of MTC.
