Per Ashlee on 6/12/2019:
Bruce has more than 30 years of accounting experience in state and local tax. He has experience working with multistate public and privately owned businesses and leading the State and Local Tax (SALT) practice before leaving EKS&H. Prior to joining EKS&H, Bruce spent three years with a law firm specializing in state tax audit defense and litigation; two years as the Manager of Tax Policy at the State of Colorado; and before that, he was a Senior Tax Manager for several years in a “Big Four” accounting firm. Bruce has published more than forty tax articles in many publications and authored the Sales and Use Tax Answer Book.
The geography of Colorado state sales tax and income tax have undergone dramatic changes in the past two years. First, sales tax nexus and sourcing were turned upside down in HB19-1240. Then the state legislature decoupled the state tax base from the CARES Act (HB20-1024 and 1420) at the same time the Department of Revenue held by regulation that federal tax changes apply only prospectively. And if that wasn’t enough, on January 15, 2021 the state legislature enacted new legislation reversing some of the changes from 2020 in HB21-1002. Confused? We all are.
In this 3-hour seminar Bruce Nelson will pull all the changes together and reduce that confusion. By integrating both the “big picture” and the specifics, you will gain an understanding of both the theory and practice behind these latest developments.
