Course Overview

In today's intricately woven business landscape, State and Local Taxes (SALT) profoundly influence enterprises across every sector. This CE Course aims to empower CPAs with essential knowledge and practical tools to navigate the challenges and prospects presented by SALT adeptly.

Industries such as manufacturing, agriculture, and e-commerce mainly offer unique avenues for refunds, especially concerning capital equipment and research and development expenditures.

Major Topics Covered:

  • Reverse audit techniques
  • SALT compliance challenges
  • Tax minimization strategies
  • Industry-specific refund opportunities
