46 State Tax & Business Developments You May Want to Know - July 21, 2017

This week I started curating state tax and business developments from a variety of sources into one spot, the LEVERAGE SALT LinkedIn group. Many people have contacted me and said they find it very useful. So I will continue to do so by posting a state tax update blog post every week. To clarify, I will post state tax and business developments daily to the LEVERAGE SALT LinkedIn group. Every week (maybe more than once a week) I will write a blog post summarizing those developments that I posted to the LEVERAGE SALT LinkedIn group with links to the posts.
