No, the IRS does not collect state taxes. State taxes are collected by individual state governments, while the IRS (Internal Revenue Service) collects federal taxes on behalf of the federal government.
There are three levels of government in Australia: local, federal and state governments. The role of the state government is to run schools, prisons, police force, emergency services, maintain railways and roads in the states. The states receive funding from the federal government, and generate revenue by levying taxes.
The power to tax state and local governments is limited by the principles of federalism and the Constitution, particularly the Tenth Amendment, which reserves powers not delegated to the federal government to the states. The federal government can tax state and local governments indirectly by imposing taxes on individuals and businesses operating within those jurisdictions, or by taxing federal grants and programs that states might rely on. Additionally, the federal government cannot impose taxes that would interfere with the states' ability to perform their governmental functions. Ultimately, the balance aims to respect state sovereignty while allowing for federal revenue generation.
