State and Local Tax

Companies are recognizing that state and local taxes are the fastest-growing component of their overall tax burden and that growth is expected to continue as state and local governments continue to look for new revenues and enforce their tax laws. We have had a comprehensive state and local tax practice for many years. Our state and local practice areas are as follows:

• We have extensive experience with analyzing the availability of and securing tax incentives in the Southeast.
• Regularly advising clients on state and local tax planning objectives.
• Handling tax controversy matters for all types of state and local taxes (sales and use, ad valorem, income, franchise, occupation, etc.) at all levels (administrative appeals, trial court, appeals court).
• We have extensive experience handling property tax appeals for commercial and residential clients in Jefferson County, Alabama under the Expeditious and Economical Tax Appeals Act.
• Assist start-up companies with establishing accounting systems to assist with compliance with state and local taxes.
