State and Local Tax

Schiff Hardin's Tax Group has expanded its services to focus on reducing state and local tax expenses for businesses. Our goal is to ensure that business clients have the most tax efficient corporate structure, and are taking advantage of all available tax and business incentives to increase their companies' profitability.

Our success in identifying areas of tax inefficiency and opportunities for tax savings has resulted in significant tax savings for companies in a number of industries — including transportation, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, distribution/logistics and software development.

Our attorneys perform diagnostic "audits" of an organization's structure, business operations and state tax returns to:

• Identify opportunities for reducing ongoing tax liabilities
• Increase eligibility for tax refunds and credits

The specific issues and strategies that we consider in an analysis of a company's structure and operations vary depending on the company's industry and operations.

After we complete a detailed review of the business structure and financial information, we will present our preliminary findings. We will advise as to whether there are available and appropriate tax savings strategies for the company to help it achieve its overall performance and growth goals.
