MULTI-STATE TAX REPRESENTATION

Your offices are in Columbus. Your product is manufactured in Georgia, with parts from Arkansas. Packaging and shipping are done in North Carolina. An inbound telemarketing company in Illinois takes the orders. The purchase is made in California.

QUESTION: Which state gets the sales or use taxes? What about business income or franchise taxes?

This is commerce in the new millennium–interstate production, distribution and sales are now commonplace. So too are multistate taxation issues. The product you sell and the income you earn in another state could be taxable in that state. State tax agencies have begun to pursue, aggressively in many cases, the dollars which they believe are owed to them.

Campbell, Hornbeck has extensive experience in representing clients’ multistate taxation issues in all 50 states. We can help you to negotiate structured audits through the tax departments of the various states or through the Multistate Tax Commission.

In addition to our multistate experience, we represent clients before federal, state and local tax authorities concerning tax assessments, trust funds and actions for failure to file. Our thorough tax representation often results in clients not having to appear in person before the tax authorities.
