The effect of the throwout rule is to distribute income according to the taxpayer’s overall activities as measured by the other apportionment factors."; "Attributing the gross receipts to the Member State of origin (i.e. applying a throwback rule) constitutes a benefit for that state that is not justified by the rationale of the gross receipts factor."UScountableuncountable
