This four-day Taxation Committee meeting serves to inform AGA and INGAA members of tax issues which impact the industry; to develop, where possible, uniform industry positions with respect to pending or proposed tax matters (e.g., legislation, regulations, rulings, etc.); and to coordinate industry positions.

Additionally this meeting will serve as a tool to improve the tax knowledge and proficiency of committee members by bringing in seasoned professionals to educate and discuss issues, including the recent repair regulations, executive compensation and property tax valuation & nexus. This meeting will also provide committee members with a unique opportunity to discuss the current economic, tax, and legislative climate as it affects our industry with members of staff from Capitol Hill.
