Multistate Tax Issues for Financial Services (Completed)
Financial services businesses and professionals face unique state and local tax issues. From industry-specific income and receipt apportionment and allocation rules; to mobile workforces and nationally dispersed customers who can create nexus in numerous jurisdictions; to significant spends on platform-wide products and services that often create unexpected sales and use tax exposure (or refund opportunities), such as software and information services. Financial services businesses are also often early investors in asset categories that remain poorly defined in state tax statutes, such as cryptocurrency and non-fungible tokens (NFTs).
During this two-hour CPE program, New York-based tax attorneys, Chris Doyle, Esq. and Elizabeth Pascal, Esq. from Hodgson Russ LLP, will outline some of the state and local tax considerations confronting multistate financial services businesses. A working knowledge of industry-specific nexus, income apportionment and allocation, self-trading exemptions, and tax computation rules is absolutely critical for tax practitioners, business owners, executives, fund managers, and other professionals that assist financial service businesses with state and local tax compliance.
