(b) Here, based on findings trial court undisputed facts, succeeded proving unitary relationship existed between subsidiaries. 320-324. (c) To have, as proposes, corporate purpose define business—i.e., to consider part if property (shares "acquired, managed or disposed for purposes relating contributing taxpayer's business"—would destroy concept business. Such definition, which would permit States apportion dividends "[w]here activities dividend payor have nothing do recipient taxing State," Corp., supra, U.S., at 442, S.Ct., 1234, cannot be accepted consistently recognized due process standards. While dividend-paying subsidiaries this case "ad[d] riches" appellant, Wallace Hines, 253 66, 70, 40 435, 437, 64 L.Ed. 782 (1920), they are "discrete enterprise[s]" "any economic sense" "nothing activities" Idaho. 439-442, 1232-1234. Therefore, there "rational [appellant's dividend] attributed intrastate values enterprise." 1231. Due Process Clause bars Idaho's effort levy upon properly reach power. 325-329.
