Domestic tax quarterly webcast series: a focus on state tax matters - June 2026

Insights from the EY Center for Tax Policy

For our second quarterly webcast in 2026, speakers from our Sales & Use Tax group, our State Tax Policy group, State Tax Controversy group, and our Washington State tax desk will discuss various topics of interest to multijurisdictional businesses.

Featured topics include:

• State and local tax legislative activity focused on digital advertising, social media and data collection and brokerage services and how these taxes differ on scope and application
• State legislative activity related to data centers, with some states pulling back on credits and exemptions and other states enhancing credits and exemptions to attract data centers to their states
• Recent state income tax apportionment cases
• Washington State sales and use and business and occupation tax legislative developments

We will round out the webcast with a high-level discussion of recent developments affecting multijurisdictional entities.

Please join us for this 90-minute, interactive webcast. We welcome and encourage you to ask questions.

Learning objectives

Discuss the state activity regarding digital ad and social media taxes, tax exemptions and credits available to data centers, recent legislative developments in Washington State as well as key legislative and judicial developments from other states of interest to multijurisdictional businesses.
