Recent Cases and Challenges in Tax Litigation with Jordan Goodman: Part 2

This week on the SALTovation podcast we continue our discussion on the ever-changing landscape of state and local tax. Jordan Goodman, Attorney at HMB Law, discusses the changing landscape of state and local tax, focusing on the investee allocation cases and the shift from considering the location of the business to the location of the asset being sold. He highlights the confusion and lack of clarity in state tax laws, emphasizing the need for uniformity and clear guidelines. Jordan also touches on the challenges of remote work and the impact of automation on tax audits.


Topics discussed in this episode:

  • The investee allocation cases have changed the game in state and local tax, shifting the focus from the location of the business to the location of the asset being sold.
  • The distinction between intangible and tangible assets is fading in the courts' minds, leading to the treatment of the sale of an asset as the same as the sale of the thing that owns the asset.
  • State tax laws lack uniformity and clarity, causing confusion and challenges for businesses and tax professionals.
  • The rise of remote work and automation has made tax audits more efficient and increased the likelihood of audits for businesses of all sizes.

About the Podcast

SALTovation: Making Sense of State and Local Tax
Welcome to SALTovation. The SALTovation show is a podcast series featuring the leading voices in state and local tax (SALT). Here we talk about issues, strategies, and planning tools to help you make sense of SALT. Because, in SALT, there is no “one and done.” SALT is a puzzle of ever-changing pieces. Solving that puzzle is our business at SALTovation. Tens of thousands of listeners know they won't get tax talk as usual with the SALTovation team. Our team is known for straight-talk with a flair for fun, providing clarity and opinions that move businesses forward with confidence.

Attorney, CPA, speaker, and writer Judy Vorndran leads the SALTovation team as they go inside business to help deal with the daily operations and long-term strategies of making SALT less “taxing.” Judy has spent more than 25 years advocating for businesses with innovative strategies, renowned knowledge and experience. She has helped guide thousands of taxpayers across the nation and globally through the morass of SALT, freeing them to concentrate on growth. Joining Judy are the wickedly smart members of the SALTovation team, who have seen, worked with and tamed some of the most prickly issues in SALT. They enjoy sharing their stories and knowledge with listeners.

Solving the SALT puzzle doesn’t happen in a vacuum; it takes a community. So, we invite leaders in business and state and local tax to share their stories, challenges and successes on this show.
