“Defending Against Penalties: Best Practices” with Craig Fields
Defending against penalties is a skill that all corporate taxpayers must master. Often harsh, retroactive amnesty provisions force taxpayers to choose between applying for amnesty and facing substantial penalties. During this ses¬sion you will review the most significant issues that frequently arise in litigation and learn how to avoid the most common traps for the unwary SALT professional.

“MTC Compact Litigation and Refund Opportunities” with Eric Coffill
The MTC Compact litigation and related refund opportunities are being discussed in many states and corporate offices across the country. During this penultimate session, you will examine the major national cases, such as Gillette and IBM, and potential implications for the Multistate Tax Commission. You will also explore refund opportunities related to apportionment formulas and other statutory departures from the Compact’s provision.
