ABA Tax Section Offers Teleconference & Webcast Today on Recent State Tax Reforms: Ohio, Texas and Michigan

The ABA Tax Section offers a teleconference and webcast today on Update on Recent State Tax System Reforms (Case Studies: Ohio, Texas and Michigan) from 1:00 - 2:30 p.m. EST:

This presentation will involve overviews and insights about Ohio’s Commercial Activities Tax (the "CAT"); the reformed Texas franchise tax (the "Margin Tax") and Michigan’s new Michigan Business Tax (the "MBT").

The three panelists are all current or former executives from their respective state taxing authorities in Ohio, Texas and Michigan. They will provide "insider" overviews of these new tax laws, comparisons between the new taxing systems and those that they have replaced and an update on the latest state guidance on current and prospective compliance issues.

This program is a "must-hear" for tax attorneys who represent taxpayers that do business in any or all of these states, and is an updated encore performance of the presentation that the same panelists gave at the ABA/IPT Advanced Income Tax Seminar in March 2008.

Panelists:

• Lynn A. Gandhi (Honigman Miller Schwartz & Cohn, Lansing, MI (Moderator))
• Janet Spies (Office of the Comptroller of Public Accounts, Austin, TX)
• Glenn R. White (Michigan Department of Treasury, Lansing, MI)
• Thomas M. Zain (McDonald Hopkins, Columbus, OH
