Overview: The effects of fundamental federal tax reform transcend the federal government and also have implications for how state and local governments deliver services. This paper investigates the effects on state and local governments from federal imposition of one proposed fundamental reform, a consumption tax in the form of a national retail sales tax (NRST). A NRST would represent one of the most dramatic shifts in the federalist structure of government finance since the introduction of the income tax by Wisconsin in 1911. Implementation of a NRST would have a variety of consequences for state and local governments. Certainly states and localities would benefit from the desirable macroeconomic consequences of fundamental tax reform.
