Council on State Taxation

The Council on State Taxation (COST) is a highly influential nongovernmental organization based in Dallas, TX, that focuses on state tax policy. With a strong emphasis on meeting the multistate tax needs of its member companies, COST provides cutting-edge educational programs, acts as a clearing house for state and local tax (SALT) resources, and actively engages in lobbying and amicus positions on important SALT court cases and legislation.

COST serves as a platform for exchanging ideas, forming coalitions, and connecting with policy makers in both the private and public sectors across the country. By fostering relationships between industry contacts, state government officials, law and accounting practitioners, and chambers, COST supports professionals in their careers and contributes to the continuous development of the field of state taxation.
