State and Local Taxes
We are committed to increasing the wealth of our clients.
Experts in State and Local Tax (SALT) Issues.
There are thousands of taxing jurisdictions in the United States and state and municipal tax agencies are becoming increasingly aggressive in identifying out-of-state companies doing business in their jurisdictions.
Is your business expanding its presence into new states or considering doing so? Have you considered the tax implications? Interstate commerce is evolving towards economic presence, so even though you do not have employees or property in a state, you may be liable for state taxes under the nexus rules.
You need to know your reporting and compliance obligations. Failure to do so can lead to flawed business decisions with serious
financial consequences.
Our multistate tax group has many years of state and local tax compliance and planning experience and can help you understand and take full advantage of things like available offsets; the collection of sales taxes from out-of-state customers where required; and foreign jurisdiction assessments.
In this context, we have helped our clients in the following areas:
- Determining jurisdictions in which you have filing and other compliance requirements
- Income and franchise tax apportionment planning
- Sales and use tax studies – filing, payment and collection
- Identifying tax credits that benefit your business
- Advice and planning for state tax consequences of specific transactions
- Working with tax authorities to minimize and settle past liabilities
