What companies have to pay fed / state tax money when they move house?

I understand that some large companies maintain separate accounting records for its various divisions, affiliates, subsidiaries, etc.. And if part of the company requires the services of another party, the bills Part of the "client" part of "supplier". Is covering the company has to pay taxes on this transaction? Oops, I meant 'party Vendor 'bills that part of the' client '.

At the federal level, no. Transactions between companies are eliminated on consolidation. You can not tax a utility that does not really win. The level of state may differ. My state (WI) will not accept returns consolidated. Each entity must file a statement state individually. That leaves the door open for some potential differences, but overall numbers are probably not material. Some states accept Consolidated State level returns. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have additional questions.
