Provides state-specific material for preparing for and handling an audit in all states that impose sales and use taxes. Readers will gain an increased understanding of why their businesses or clients were selected for audit, how their audits will proceed, what the audit staff will be looking for, and how assessments are developed.

Instead of enacting tax increases, taxing agencies are quietly encouraged to mine every possible dollar from the existing tax structures. As a result, a sales and use tax audit notice generally may be regarded as the first step in a state civil action intended to extract additional funds from a specific taxpayer. Since this may often result in unfavorable consequences for the taxpayer, this book is intended to improve the taxpayer's chances of prevailing in what is often a losing battle. It aims to assist taxpayers in proactively avoiding paying more than their legal share of taxes.

This guide comes with a CD-ROM, containing approximately 200 state and local exemption certificates.

CCH's State Tax Handbook is the perfect quick-answer tool for tax practitioners and business professionals who work with multiple state tax jurisdictions. This reference provides readers with an overview of the taxation scheme of each state and the District of Columbia, as well as multistate charts on income taxes (personal and corporate), sales and use taxes and tax administration. It saves lots of time for busy practitioners, serving as a convenient single source of key state tax information for professionals instead of them having to wade through multiple sources to find this information.

The book is set out in four parts, which together paint an overall picture of the states' levies, bases and rates of each tax, principal payment and return dates, and other important information on major state taxes.

The State Tax Handbook provides a comprehensive "Taxes by State" section, which helpfully summarizes in one place the tax rules for each state, including key information such as tax rates and filing/payment dates. It details the taxing authorities for each jurisdiction, including addresses, phone numbers, websites and taxes governed by each office. This helpful section also includes a discussion on collection of out-of-state taxes. The major features of each state's revenue system are outlined in uniform arrangement which makes reference from state to state easy.   

At-a-glance multistate charts detail important issues to assist state tax compliance and planning. More than 120 charts are provided, covering discrete topics such as income tax rates, state corporate and personal income tax reporting requirements, filing extensions, state taxation of passthrough entities; allocation and apportionment, AMT on preference items, manufacturing exemptions, sales for resale, consolidated returns, and estimated tax requirements.

For students, the INTERNATIONAL INCOME TAXATION: Code and Regulations--Selected Sections is a popular companion to an international tax coursebook for use in undergraduate or graduate courses in law and business schools. For practitioners, the book is an exclusive convenient desk reference.  Unlike the full multi-volume Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations, this single-volume reference travels well between home and office -- and between classroom and dorm. The book features a reader-friendly large 7-1/4" x 10" format with new larger type fonts for enhanced readability.

Includes CD of entire contents of book.

In this comprehensive and easy-to-use volume, Professors Richard C. Pugh, Charles H. Gustafson, and Robert J. Peroni have selected provisions of the Internal Revenue Code and Income Tax Regulations directly related to the U.S. taxation of foreign entities and the U.S. taxation of domestic entities that have income from sources outside the country.  Code and Regulations sections included are those deemed to be essential to International Tax teachers, students and practitioners.

The 2010-2011 edition of INTERNATIONAL INCOME TAXATION: Code and Regulations--Selected Sections reflects all legislation and regulations enacted or adopted on or before June 1, 2010.
