State & Local Taxation
West Virginia’s tax code is complex. Since the state’s inception, state and local systems of taxation have grown at a rapid pace. But for decades, Spilman has been a guiding force in this rapidly changing area. The firm has advised numerous clients in evaluating the range of state and local taxation issues, including:
Business and Occupation taxation
Sales and Use taxation
Appraisals, valuations and assessments
Tax credits based on job creation and investment
Property tax reductions for manufacturing property
Moreover, we have counseled clients, individuals and businesses of every size and industry type on state and local tax issues.
Beyond statutory or regulatory review, our attorneys frequently represent individuals and businesses in other ways by:
Monitoring and commenting on the application of tax laws by state and local taxing authorities
Negotiating appraisals, valuations and assessments by those authorities
Assisting clients in obtaining designations, certificates, rulings and other types of authority
Evaluating and providing comments on proposed tax laws and regulations
Assisting in the acquisition of tax credits and favorable valuations for new and expanding businesses
Negotiating fines and penalties
Our reputation and experience in this complex area of the law allow us to effectively advise our clients on state and local tax issues.
