These sessions will be held the afternoon before several of our upcoming Regional State Tax Meetings.  The sessions will feature presentations by both COST staff, practitioner firms sponsoring, and the company hosting the Regional Meeting. The targeted attendees are tax professionals just starting their SALT careers, individuals with a basic level of state and local tax experience as well as experienced SALT professionals who would like a refresher. Government Relations professionals that deal with SALT legislation will also find these sessions valuable. The training session is designed to introduce fundamental SALT concepts and provide attendees with basic sales tax and income tax knowledge.
