SALT State & Local Tax

Overview

Businesses operating in multiple states must navigate and comply with varied and complex state and local taxes imposed on legal entities, their owners, and transactions of products and services. The pace of change in the world of state tax has increased in recent years, thereby altering the landscape in which businesses operate creating both opportunities and pitfalls. In addition, with every state facing serious financial problems, state departments of revenue are more focused on enforcement. Business owners who are not aware of their tax obligations may find themselves liable; not just for the tax, but they may also incur penalties. At PKF Mueller, our State & Local Tax Group (SALT) is committed to staying up-to-date with current tax legislation so we can assist you in accurately determining your tax burden and help you capitalize on tax opportunities.

Allocation/Apportionment Reviews: Several states assign sales of services to the state in which the benefit of the service is received. Other states assign such sales to the state in which the services are received, the state in which the customers or marketplace is located, or the state in which the service is delivered. How you source your income and taxes can be  challenging but an allocation and apportionment review can help you protect your business.
