A fireside chat with Jared Walczak of the Tax Foundation

In this episode of the SALT Shaker Podcast policy series, host and Eversheds Sutherland Partner Nikki Dobay welcomes Jared Walczak, Vice President of State Projects at the Tax Foundation. Jared begins the conversation by providing background on the work of the Tax Foundation, as well as his role within the organization. He then shares his perspective about state tax revenues during the pandemic and beyond. Jared also discusses how the economic situations have informed the organization's work of the past year and how that is likely to differ from what he expects to focus on in 2022. Jared and Nikki also touch on the Build Back Better Act.   Then, they wrap up with Nikki's surprise non-tax question, this time focused on travel – what's your favorite thing to do when visiting a new state on a work trip? The Eversheds Sutherland State and Local Tax team has been engaged in state tax policy work for years, tracking tax legislation, helping clients gauge the impact of various proposals, drafting talking points and rewriting legislation. Partner Nikki Dobay, who has an extensive background in tax policy, hosts this series, which is focused on state and local tax policy issues. Questions or comments? Email [email protected].
