National Multistate Tax Services
Virtually every business decision has a tax consequence. Now, more than ever, companies with operations in multiple jurisdictions have reason to keep the big picture in view when it comes to state taxation. There are many ripple effects from a tax perspective when a company complies with federal and state law requirements outside of the tax arena. Our National Multistate Tax Services team can help align your business objectives and strategies with a thorough multistate tax posture.

Managing the complexity requires a thoughtful analysis of tax law, your company’s business and materiality. Deloitte's Multistate Tax ASC 740 assistance team can assist a company in analyzing significant issues and developing a sensible approach to address them.

Multistate Tax M&A Competency group
Mergers, acquisitions, and disposition transactions may take many forms — from the acquisition of stock or assets to the disposition of a division, an IPO or a recapitalization — and they all require a thoughtful analysis of the state tax issues, opportunities, risk and compliance requirements. Deloitte's Multistate Tax M&A Competency group can help analyze the critical issues and develop effective approaches to address your needs.
State Income, Franchise, and Gross Receipt Services
State income, franchise, and gross receipts taxes are a constantly moving target. Rules vary widely among the states, which are becoming more creative in their attempts to increase their tax base with some state and local tax rates increasing to more than 10 percent. We are also seeing substantial changes in nexus and apportionment rules, and a choice by some states to replace their tax systems with gross receipts tax regimes. The compliance and accounting for these changes can be cumbersome. Too often these complexities become a drain on tax department resources and company profits. Deloitte can help.
