State Tax Analysis & Resolution (STAR)

In today’s ever-changing environment, companies are seeing rapid growth and expansion of their marketplace. It is common to find many companies venturing into new states to sell their products/services. Because of this rapid growth, companies may not have considered the activities of their employees/independent contractors in all of the states they operate. As a result, these companies may also not be aware of the state tax consequences associated with these activities.

The State Tax Analysis and Resolution (STAR) will help you identify your multi-state tax activities and understand how those activities impact your multi-state tax obligations. The STAR is a tool to identify your company’s nexus exposures and compute estimated state tax costs. STAR provides a road map to help you resolve issues and formulate practical planning strategies to help your company reduce any identified state tax costs.
