Intrastate Commerce

Intrastate Commerce – Intrastate commerce is the transportation, purchase, and selling of goods and service within one state.  With the economy in a slump in 2009, many states are offering incentives to companies and consumers who buy and sell locally.  Community service announcements and billboards are very prevalent in depressed areas of the country.  These advertisements heavily promote buying, selling, hiring, and using services and products within your own community or state.  States benefit economically when dollars stay within their own borders, by collecting sales taxes, business taxes, payroll taxes among other fees, taxes and licensing.
