The focus was on the issues that are impacting you and your clients. For example everyone advising on state taxes needs to:
- understand, in our changing tax environment, how differing structures and relationships impact on how our clients account for State taxes
- see how the Revenue Offices are moving online - appreciating the opportunities and risks this presents
- be on top of the latest approaches to reviewing decisions of our Revenue Offices
The program was a mix of the practical and the technical - relevant to general practitioners and state tax specialists alike.
