On January 20, 2017 at the ABA Tax Section Midyear Meeting, Roger Cukras led a discussion regarding state tax issues on mergers and how to avoid adverse consequences.
The states have not taken a consistent approach to the imposition of sales taxes on corporate organizations, reorganizations, acquisitions, and liquidations. The statutes are often poorly designed and they have illogical and haphazard consequences, treating economically identical transactions in different ways and different transactions similarly.
During this forum, Roger encouraged discussion, interpretation and thought leadership surrounding the issues of sales tax as it relates to the sale of business.
