ABOUT THE SESSIONS

Mitchell Newmark: “Spare a Square? – Transfer Pricing SALT Controversies”
Monday, December 11
8:30 a.m.

Transfer pricing SALT controversies have increased over the years. States are concerned about possible abuse arising from inter-company transactions, while taxpayers counter that the states have a plethora of other weapons to deploy (e.g., forced combination, addback statutes, alternative apportionment) in lieu of disputing established transfer pricing studies.

Nicole Johnson: “Going Local”
Monday, December 11
2:00 p.m.

Local taxes are proliferating and can be challenging to learn, administer, and challenge. Moreover, the disconnect from established state nexus standards and tax base definitions further complicate compliance.

Other sessions include:

• There Are 2, No 3, Responsible Taxpayers in Every Sales Transaction
• You Can't Touch This—Tangible Personal Property—Is It Past Its Prime?
• Big Gain Hunting
