Multistate Corporate Taxation Webinar

Overview: 

Do you know whether your corporation’s activities cross state boundaries and establish a taxable presence (nexus)? Do you have the protocol in place to review and determine your multistate tax obligations? Do you have the systems in place to manage these obligations and minimize risk? Don’t wait until your company is audited to deal with the ever-changing morass of state tax laws and administrative policies governing nexus. Advance planning will save your company money, reduce risk and enhance your career opportunities. This fast-paced webinar explores:

  • Tax issues that arise from ongoing business operations and corporate reorganizations and dispositions
  • How to determine the proper tax liability for each nexus state
  • Planning opportunities to minimize your company’s overall state tax burden
