In part two of Aprio’s SALTovation Podcast with Andrea Muse, Editor-in-Chief of Tax Notes State, Meredith Smith and Stacey Roberts explore the editorial engine behind the publication and identify relevant state and local tax issues. Andrea discusses how topics make it onto the Tax Notes State agenda, the importance of reader input, and how the publication is geared to respond to real life issues.
In addition, the team discusses SALT-specific topics including the One Big Beautiful Bill Act and its ripple effects on state conformity and revenues, the still-unresolved Maryland digital advertising tax litigation, the Multistate Tax Commission’s (MTC) expanded interpretation of Public Law 86-272, and why factor representation and alternative apportionment are heating back up.
