I'm guessing the answer is that no such thing occurs in the US.
Sounds like taxation without representation. We consider that a bad thing here.
The province should be taxing its citizens in order to generate the funds necessary to operate the functions of the province. The fed should be taxing its citizens in order to generate the funds necessary to operate the functions of the fed. Fin.
What kind of shithole government needs to shoe-horn an extra stage of bureaucracy into that equation?
NOTE: In America sometimes the 'function of the fed' is to provide financial aid to states in need. But that money would come out of their own tax revenue.
