Tax Policy

Often, a particular tax law or policy has an unintended consequence, either because the effects were not fully thought out or because of a changing business environment.  When the existing tax law does not work as intended or works to our client's detriment, we can assist with fixing the law and avoiding such detriments.

 

No other Ohio firm has the unique reputation and experience as ZHF when dealing with tax policy issues . and solving tax disputes with legislative changes and clarifications.  Policy makers at all levels of government often seek the input of our professionals on tax policy.  Our team includes a former Ohio tax commissioner, as well as a former Congressman.  Both have walked the halls of Congress and the Ohio statehouse to advocate for positive tax policies.  Members of our Tax Policy Team have also advocated nationally on state tax policy matters, including in other states.
