Advantous Law

Yesterday, Advantous Law Managing Partner, Jason R. Brown, once again moderated a panel of top- and high-level state tax administrators at the ABA/IPT Advanced Sales Tax Seminar held annually in New Orleans, Louisiana. This year’s session, "Steamboat Strategies: Navigating the Choppy Waters of Tax Administration,” included:

🔹 Richard Nelson – Secretary, Louisiana Department of Revenue
🔹 Josh Pens – Director of Tax Policy, Colorado Department of Revenue
🔹 Marita Sciarrotta – Acting, Director, New Jersey Division of Taxation
🔹 Andrew Furuseth – Director, Sales and Use Tax Division, North Carolina Department of Revenue

The tax administrators discussed their states’ recent (and upcoming) tax reform (and other legislative) efforts; the most prominent administrative, policy and compliance issues they are seeing in their respective states; and what issues they see on the horizon. It was, as ever, an insightful discussion on the ever-evolving state and local tax landscape. Advantous Law thanks American Bar Association Section on Taxation; Institute for Professionals in Taxation; and the Advanced Sales Tax Seminar Planning Committee (of which Jason is a member) for continuing to give tax administrators the opportunity to speak to the seminar’s attendees.

Advantous Law Managing Partner, Jason R. Brown, will join other industry experts at the National Association of Property Tax Representatives - Transportation, Energy, Communications (NAPTR-TEC) Annual Conference, taking place October 21-23 at the Sheraton Tucson Hotel and Suites in Tucson, AZ. On Tuesday, October 22, Jason will provide insights into the national property tax landscape, including recent and proposed changes in state laws and new and emerging trends in property taxation. We hope to see you there!

Next week at Institute for Professionals in Taxation’s 2024 Sales Tax Symposium in Grapevine, Texas, Advantous Law’s Managing Partner Jason R. Brown will reprise his role moderating a panel discussion of top- and high-level state tax administrators from around the country. This year’s session, From the Collectors’ Point of View: State Tax Administrators Roundtable, will feature a broad, open-ended discussion of all things related to tax administration, including the most prominent administrative, policy and compliance issues they are seeing in their states, and nationally, with Glen White, Deputy Tax Commissioner for the Nebraska Department of Revenue; Luke Morris, Assistant Secretary, Office of Legal Affairs for the Louisiana Department of Revenue; and Phillip Ashley, Associate Deputy Comptroller for Tax Administration for the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts. This session is always one of the most well-attended and well-regarded sessions of the entire symposium and this year’s panel promises to be no different. The panel will take place Wednesday, September 25, 2024, from 10:30am to Noon. We hope to see you there. https://www.ipt.org/site/rise/events/event_display.aspx?EventKey=STSYM2024&WebsiteKey=d6f1b09a-8654-4d08-a672-c29d18a1a51c
