The power to collect taxes is an example of a concurrent power, meaning it is shared by both the state and national governments. Both levels of government have the authority to levy taxes, allowing them to generate revenue for their respective functions. This shared power enables a more flexible and responsive fiscal system, as both governments can address their unique financial needs. However, conflicts can arise regarding taxation authority and rates, necessitating clear legal frameworks to govern these interactions.

National government deals with the entire nation; for example, what is the legal voting or drinking age. State government does the same thing, but on the state level; for example, at what age can a teenager receive a driver's permit. State laws cannot contradict national laws; for example, the state could not say that the legal drinking age was 15, because the national law has set it at 21.
