Corporate tax disclosures – are they in or out?

In this episode of the SALT Shaker Podcast policy series, host and Eversheds Sutherland Partner Nikki Dobay welcomes back Jeff Newgard, Principal and Owner of Peak Policy, as well as Stephanie Do, Senior Tax Counsel for the Council On State Taxation (COST). They team up with Nikki to discuss the intricacies of corporate tax disclosures, including recently-introduced ballot initiative 21-23 in Massachusetts. They cover the initiative's status, concerns associated with it and how it may fare in the future. In addition, Jeff reviews the history of public tax disclosure legislation in Oregon and opines on whether there should be concerns that such legislation might be back in 2022. Collectively, they express concern with disclosure bills generally and how it affects tax policy discussions.   Then, they wrap up with Nikki's surprise non-tax question – what is your favorite Halloween costume? 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].
