The Second Annual State and Local Tax (SALT) Forum hosted by the 蜜桃TV Graduate Tax Program will provide a venue for honest and respectful discussion of the most pertinent SALT issues of the day.

At this year's Forum, legislators, tax agency executives, in-house practitioners, accountants, lawyers and judges will answer critical questions of what is taxable in the digital economy, which states can tax (and how much of) it, what legislators can do to reduce uncertainty and how judges might rule on these issues. 

The Pennsylvania Continuing Legal Education Board has approved this event for 4 Substantive and 1 Ethics CLE credits. This event is approved for 5 CPE credits. Please note registration is required.

Please consider making a one-time gift or recurring donation to support the Graduate Tax Program. 

Thank you to our generous supporters:
