This program (both in-person and virtual) is open to industry tax professionals from both COST Member and Non-COST Member Companies. CLE/CPE will be available to each registered individual. Please note – the In-Person Meeting will contain more sessions than the Virtual Webinar.
This program is for someone with all levels of state and local tax experience. No advance preparation is needed. The goal of this program is to provide a program both in-person and virtual which will cover the key state and local tax issues that companies are facing.
The virtual portion will be using the Zoom platform. If your corporate firewall restricts the use of Zoom, you may join by personal device or audio.
