Jordan Goodman, JD, CPA, examines how recent state and local tax (SALT) rulings impact corporate apportionment, sourcing, and compliance. He explains the matching principle through cases like Microsoft and Sugar Beets, and explores how DuPont and Dynamic Logic reshape definitions of core business activity and taxable services. Goodman also addresses California’s retroactive law changes, market-based sourcing, and the Ultimate Destination Test. These evolving legal standards present strategic planning opportunities for CPAs and advisors to help clients navigate risk, refine positions, and stay ahead in a shifting SALT landscape.
