Maine. Massachusetts. New Hampshire.

From our offices in Boston, Portland, and Portsmouth, Pierce Atwood’s State and Local Tax (“SALT”) Group provides litigation, planning, transaction, regulatory, and legislative services to business, associations, and individuals on all Massachusetts, Maine, and New Hampshire tax issues and development incentives.

State and local tax laws are continually changing, either through legislative action, administrative interpretation, or judicial decisions. Pierce Atwood’s SALT Group carefully monitors these changes. We also periodically provide Alerts, such as this one, to inform our clients and friends about the changes that may be most relevant to them.
