SALT Developments in Western States: Recent Legislation, Nexus, IRC Conformity, Apportionment, Filing Methods

BarbriPdBannerMessage

About the Course

Introduction

This webinar will delve into the latest legislative and regulatory updates across western states. Our panel of knowledgeable state and local income tax professionals will cover economic nexus trends and changes in IRC conformity, tax base, apportionment, and filing methods in these states.

Description

Colorado led the way in 2022, implementing a retail delivery fee. The fee is imposed on deliveries by motor vehicle to Colorado locations that include an item subject to its state sales and use tax. Initially, the fee was 27 cents, increasing to 29 cents by June 30, 2025. Washington is considering following suit with a similar charge of 30 cents per order. The popularity of Amazon, Uber Eats, and other delivery services, and the anticipated revenue these fees generate, means other states will likely follow.

Additional revenue raisers in the western states include California's suspension of the NOL deduction for 2024-2026. Individual and corporate taxpayers with less than $1 million in taxable income escape the suspension, and the NOL carryover period is extended by a year for those who do not.

The western states continually implement, update, and change rules affecting businesses and individuals subject to tax. SALT practitioners must stay abreast of impending and recently imposed guidelines in the west to ensure taxpayers are prepared for these legislative changes.

Listen as our panel of notable state and local tax experts leads practitioners through recent developments in Arizona, California, Colorado, New Mexico, and other states in the western U.S.
