Research, Presentations, and Publications

Under the Multistate Tax Compact, the Commission is granted the authority to, among other things, “study state and local tax systems and particular types of state and local taxes.” The Commission’s members and staff perform this function in various ways, through the Commission’s committees, through training and conferences, and by researching and publishing reports. 

Archived here are some of the reports, presentations, articles, and other information produced as part of this process.
