SACRAMENTO, Calif., Sept. 5,
2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Global law firm Greenberg
Traurig, LLP has filed a case on behalf of the National Taxpayers
Union (NTU) in the Superior Court of California, County of
Sacramento. The complaint
challenges a portion of California
Senate Bill 167, signed into law in June, asserting a section of
the law is unconstitutional under the Due Process Clauses of
the United States and California
Constitutions.
Shareholders Nikki E. Dobay and
Shail P. Shah, members of the firm's State & Local Tax (SALT)
Practice, are leading the team that also includes Shareholder Todd
A. Pickles and Associate Henry Stroud.
Dobay is nationally known for her deep experience and
understanding of state tax policy and the legislative process. She
also advises her clients on sophisticated multistate tax issues as
well as the consequences and planning opportunities related to
corporate mergers and acquisitions transactions and oversees state
and local tax controversy matters, ranging from audits to appellate
litigation, and involving sales and use taxes, income and franchise
taxes, property taxes, and constitutional issues.
Shah has been helping clients address California tax problems for more than 15
years. His clients range from Fortune 25 companies to
high-net-worth individuals. Shah focuses his practice on complex
California tax planning and
representation in front of the California Franchise Tax Board,
California Department of Taxation and Fee Administration, Office of
Tax Appeals, Board of Equalization, and various administrative and
judicial adjudicating forums at both the state and local levels. He
also provides advice on both proactive residency planning and
residency audit defense.
NTU is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit social welfare organization
incorporated in Delaware with its principal office in Washington
D.C. As an association of taxpayers that pay taxes in many states,
including California, NTU has an interest in having California's
tax laws applied in a Constitutional manner. NTU has members that
do business in and pay California corporate income and/or franchise
taxes and those members will be directly impacted by the
application of the California Revenue and Taxation Code section in
question. This case raises important taxation and policy concerns
for California taxpayers, according to NTU's press release.
