Domestic tax quarterly webcast series: a focus on state tax matters

For our first quarterly webcast in 2024, we welcome Amanda Hiller, the Acting Tax Commissioner and General Counsel of the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, and Preston Niblack, Commissioner of the New York City Department of Finance, who will join us to discuss the recently adopted New York corporate franchise tax regulations and their departments’ priorities for the new year.

In this webcast, we also will hold the first discussion in a four-part series on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of state and local tax. In this series we will discuss how businesses and governmental agencies, including tax departments and economic development agencies, may use AI and related considerations regarding the use of AI.

We will round out the webcast with a state and local tax policy discussion. Topics to be discussed include an update on the current state of the states; governors’ budget initiatives; state tax legislative proposals and trends; and the effects of current economic trends on state and local tax policy developments around the country.

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