From this,
Amendment 16 - Status of Income Tax Clarified. Ratified 2/3/1913.
The Congress shall have power to lay and collect taxes on incomes, from whatever source derived, without apportionment among the several States, and without regard to any census or enumeration.
EDIT: Just noticed you're from Aussieland. To clarify, and I apolgize if you already knew this, the US Consitution can be amended so it's original rules are changed. The unapportioned tax bit was from the original consitution but that was as aboved amended in 1913 so that it is now consitutional.
