As the complexities surrounding state and local taxes continue to evolve, and considering the continual passage of new legislation, it can be challenging for businesses to stay fully compliant with their state and local tax reporting obligations. Nexus standards vary across the states, and an entity's nexus footprint can quickly evolve. An organization's tax department may not be equipped to take the necessary actions needed to comply in a timely manner.
There are various paths that a noncompliant business can take to remedy exposure, including utilizing voluntary disclosure agreements, settlements, and/or other opportunities. SALT professionals must consider the latest and most effective options available to facilitate resolutions and minimize the ultimate tax liability for businesses operating in multiple states.
Listen as our panel of SALT veterans explains how to identify and resolve state tax issues for companies that have known and unknown tax nexus in various states.
