THE FACTS:
There are more than 30,000 state and local tax jurisdictions in the United States. Over 7,500 of these jurisdictions impose their own sales and use tax - each with a different rate, and different definitions of taxable goods and services. Even more jurisdictions impose additional income/franchise taxes, property taxes, gross receipts taxes, business license taxes and fees, among others.

THE ISSUE:
Your company must recognize and tackle important multi-state tax obligations on a daily basis. States can impose tax obligations on your company even if your only presence in a state is an occasional visit by an employee or an independent contractor.  If you fail to register for and meet these filing obligations, States can go back as long as you have been doing business in their jurisdiction to impose liabilities.  The significance of these obligations can be overwhelming, and is typically overlooked until a company finds itself “putting out fires”, as opposed to proactively meeting and minimizing these obligations, and seeking potential refund opportunities.

THE SOLUTION:
Michael T. Dillon, Esq. successfully adds value to his clients’ businesses by identifying and minimizing tax obligations, and maximizing refunds and reductions of tax.  Once obligations and exposure are identified, Mike successfully negotiates voluntary disclosure and resolution of the liabilities, including abatement of penalties.  Mike then ensures that the tax compliance controls, decision matrices and processes are in place to ensure prospective compliance obligations are met efficiently and cost-effectively.  Mike regularly represents companies during and after state tax audits, often coming in at critical, “all hope is lost” stages to minimize potential liabilities and negotiate favorable settlements. Mike guides companies through mergers and acquisition buy-side due diligence, identifying and disclosing potential tax exposure, successor liability issues, tax clearance requirements, and bulk transfer and other exemption opportunities.  

Mike has reduced tax exposure and liabilities and recovered millions of dollars in state and local taxes through the the optimal provision of the following services:
