Question

In Meadwestvaco Corporation v. Illinois Department of Revenue, the court examined whether Mead's Ohio sale of Lexus-Nexis Illinois resulted in a nonbusiness event or whether the sale was subject to taxation in Illinois. The court determined that:
A.The Due Process clause applies to individuals but not corporations so Illinois has no claim.
B.Business integration evidenced by functional integration, centralized management and economics of scale must be evidenced for the sale to be business income and subject in part to Illinois taxation.
C.Illinois is not entitled to tax a portion of the income realized from the sale because such a taxation would violate the Commerce Clause by instituting an unreasonable burden on interstate commerce.
D.The unitary business principle should be abandoned due to new methods of finance and focus on new forms of business that make it obsolete.
