The Council On State Taxation (COST) is a nonprofit trade association that represents over 500 multistate corporations engaged in interstate and international business. Established in 1969, COST's objective is to preserve and promote equitable and nondiscriminatory state and local taxation of multijurisdictional business entities. With nationally recognized educational programs, COST offers its members high-quality conferences, schools, and special symposia, featuring the hottest topics in state tax, delivered by the nation's most recognized experts.
COST provides a platform for its members to exchange ideas, form coalitions, and connect with policy makers in the private and public sectors across the country. By acting as a clearing house for state and local tax (SALT) resources, taking amicus positions on important SALT court cases, and lobbying on leading SALT legislation, COST plays a crucial role in shaping tax policy. The organization fosters a supportive environment that facilitates networking and career-long relationships among professionals in industry, state government, law, and accounting practitioners, making the field continuously rewarding.
