State and Local

 

First-rate state and local knowledge.
 
In today’s ever-changing landscape, it can seem that the state and local rules change every day. Not only do we recruit experts in these areas, we continually refresh our knowledge base with daily updates that keep us on top of important issues and legislation changes that might influence future decisions.

We address all types of state and local tax-related issues that may arise in the ordinary course of business operations, including the following multi-state tax services:

• Nexus: Companies of all sizes sell to customers in multiple states -- where and how business is conducted dictates the number and types of state and local taxes incurred. We’ll analyze any nexus creating activities and proactively plan for overall tax minimization. In instances where nexus has existed for a period of time, we can often reduce the cost of retroactive compliance through negotiation of a Voluntary Compliance arrangement.
• Tax Authority Representation: We have deep knowledge of many state tax jurisdictions. We proactively challenge each assessment, work to secure all appeal rights, and continually seek overpaid tax opportunities as assessment offsets or cash refunds.
• Outsourcing/Co-sourcing: For tax returns or Revenue Agents Reports (“RARs”), we provide the quality preparation services necessary to maintain compliance with taxing jurisdictions throughout the country.
• Transaction Support: For due diligence reviews, planning around transfer tax liabilities, and consultation regarding intangible holding companies and reorganization strategies, our experienced team of tax specialists provides the high quality expertise that ensures maximum reduction in overall state and local tax liabilities.
