State power to tax is an essential aspect of governmental authority, enabling states to generate revenue for public services and infrastructure. This power is characterized by its legal basis, typically defined by constitutional provisions or statutes, which outline the scope and limits of taxation. Additionally, state taxation is generally characterized by its ability to adapt to economic conditions and policy objectives, with various forms such as income, sales, and property taxes. Ultimately, the exercise of this power must balance the need for funding with principles of equity and efficiency to minimize economic distortion and ensure fairness among taxpayers.
