A Texas-sized legislative update

In this episode of the SALT Shaker Podcast policy series, host and Eversheds Sutherland Partner Nikki Dobay welcomes Dale Craymer, President of the Texas Taxpayers and Research Association (TTARA), as well as Eversheds Sutherland Associate Dennis Jansen for a discussion about all things Texas. Dale provides an overview of TTARA's work, as well as how Texas's legislative session was impacted by COVID-19 and the winter storm. Dale, Nikki and Dennis then discuss accomplishments in the most recent legislative session, including important changes to tax protest procedures, marketplace facilitator legislation, and whether any tax policy will be discussed during the special session. All of these topics are covered before turning to the surprise non-tax question – everyone's favorite movie!   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. This series, which is focused on state and local tax policy issues, is hosted by Partner Nikki Dobay, who has an extensive background in tax policy. Questions or comments? Email [email protected].
