Multistate tax practice is always evolving. The Catalyst state team stays on top of trends, consulting with leading SALT practitioners and incorporating their insights, along with our in-depth analysis, into Checkpoint Catalyst topics that integrate into CoCounsel Tax.

This installment of our Multistate Tax Trends Q&A series features Sarah Vergel del Dios, a State and Local Tax Managing Director at KPMG US, based in Houston, Texas, with a focus on indirect tax.
