State and Local Tax Services

Recent studies of state and local tax legislation show a trend not only toward greater taxation, but an unprecedented complexity of laws from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Coupled with declining state tax revenues and rising local obligations, businesses must understand their exposure to state and local tax laws or risk a significant impact on their own cash flows.

Miller Cooper’s state and local specialists know that planning for opportunities, developing a master tax plan and identifying potential exposures are essential to all businesses. We view state and local planning as a key component of a well-designed tax management strategy. Having prepared state and local taxes, as well as federal, for both corporations and the individuals who own them, we understand how to minimize the total tax burden for a business and its owners. Whether you are headquartered in the U.S. or abroad, we look out for your best interests.
