Part Four includes:
A session which will help you analyze recent federal and state constitutional, legislative, judicial, and administrative sales and use tax revisions. Developments giving rise to planning and refund opportunities will be highlighted.
Another session which will review recent sales and use tax developments as they relate to current and emerging economies and best practices for dealing with sales and use tax compliance for nontraditional transactions, and provide insight into how state and federal legislation may deal with the main issues related to these transactions.
And a final session related to state statutes. A number of states (CA, IL, and many East Coast states) and the city of Chicago are attempting to pass statutes or ordinances that require the disclosure of corporate tax liabilities. Moreover, there are state legislatures (NY and GA) that are expanding Qui Tam actions to include taxes. From a tax policy standpoint, is this desirable? From an in-house corporate perspective, how do you deal with these statutes? As a tax advisor, what should you tell your client?
