SCOTUS Avoids Ruling on Constitutionality of Ohio Tax Credits

In DaimlerChrysler v. Cuno, the Supreme Court passed on deciding on the constitutionality of state tax credits that incentivize corporations to do business in their states. Instead, the Court ruled that the taxpayers who had challenged the credit did not have “standing” to do so, so the federal trial court should not have ruled that the Ohio tax credits provided to DamilerChrysler were unconstitutional under the Commerce Clause.
