SALT Consulting

Your federal taxes are not the only significant aspect of your overall tax situation. Having an effective strategy for managing State and Local Tax (SALT) is just as important – and your SALT requirements can be much more complex.

Managing State and Local Tax Laws

If you have customers, employees, or facilities in several states or even multiple municipalities within the same state, your state and local tax situation can be quite complicated:

In which states do you have a sales or use tax nexus?
In which states do you have income tax nexus?
Are your real estate holdings and other assets set up to provide maximum tax advantage?
How do you streamline and manage your processes to ensure SALT compliance and maximize available tax benefits?

When you turn to Nichols Cauley, we will guide you through the maze of state and local tax compliance requirements while working closely with your team to ensure you have evaluated all available state and local tax benefits.

SALT Planning

In connection with your federal income tax structure, your state and local tax activities require strategic thought. Through the planned management of facilities, debt, inventory, sales, and more, your company can realize savings at the state and local levels. Our SALT Team will help identify areas where your company may be able to reduce your business, property, ad valorem, and other tax obligations.

State & Local Tax Credits

The Nichols Cauley SALT Team can evaluate your business and potentially identify tax credit opportunities. Many states offer business tax credits for certain types of hiring or employee retention, employee training, research and development, employee benefits offered and more.
