WSBA Tax Section Annual Luncheon

All current students in the Tax Program are cordially invited to attend the Annual Luncheon meeting of the Washington State Bar Association's Taxation Section. The luncheon will be held on Tuesday, May 15, from 11:30 - 1:30 at the Columbia Tower Club (75th floor of the Bank of America Tower, 701 Fifth Avenue). This year's guest speaker will be Russ Brubaker, assistant director of interpretations and technical advice for the Washington Department of Revenue and the new president of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board. His presentation will discuss recent developments surrounding the Marketplace Fairness Act and Marketplace Equity Act, and provide some insight on the state of Washington’s economic nexus rules


The $45 registration fee pays for everything, including tax and tip. Because we want to have a nice showing of Tax Program students at this event, the Tax Program will pay your $45 registration fee if you register with Ilse Allison by Wednesday, May 9. When you register with Ilse (ra7 (at) uw.edu) be sure to indicate your choice of meal: Roasted Beef Tenderloin, Grilled Mahi Mahi, or Pecan Pesto Pasta (vegetarian).


This event is always a good opportunity for connecting with other practicing tax attorneys in the Puget Sound region. Business attire is required, as the Columbia Tower Club has a dress code. You will be denied entrance to the club if you arrive in casual attire.
