The TEI Atlanta Chapter hosted a half-day SALT CPE event early this summer. The event, presented by PricewaterhouseCoopers, covered state tax policy trends and featured keynote speaker Lynne Riley, commissioner of the Georgia Department of Revenue. Joe Garrett, deputy commissioner of the Alabama Department of Revenue, and Frank O’Connell, general counsel and director of legal affairs and tax policy of the Georgia Department of Revenue, participated in a roundtable discussion. Other presenters included various representatives of PwC, including Barbara Coulter, state and local tax partner; Carrie Parker, mergers and acquisitions tax partner; Mark Siegel, director of state and local tax; and Steve Snyder, director of transfer pricing. Participants and speakers discussed the potential state tax impact of the proposed Section 385 regulation and other state transfer pricing issues.
