SALT for CFOs: What You Don’t Know & Should Know

The changes to state and local taxation are numerous and profound. What are the major changes to state and local taxes (SALT) beyond Wayfair? Be aware of the new, creative methods used to raise taxes. Why does every state need more revenue? How have the rules changed? What information, accounting systems, and software could be helpful?
