DENVER, Oct. 14, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Andrew Rubin, J.D., LL.M., senior associate in Burleson LLP's Denver office, will present SALT in the Oil Patch: Current Developments in State and Local Tax in the Rockies at five upcoming chapter meetings of the Council of Petroleum Accountants Societies (COPAS) in Texas and Oklahoma.
Rubin will cover recent news and trends in Colorado, North Dakota, Wyoming, Utah, and Montana, and fundamental distinctions in how each state handles taxation of oil and gas activities. Topics will include sales and use tax, income tax, and severance tax.
"The energy sector of the Rocky Mountain region is experiencing an incredible time of growth, and there are a number of Texas- and Oklahoma-based companies evaluating investment opportunities in the area," said Rubin, who focuses his practice on business and tax law matters. "This presentation will shed light on some of the unique tax opportunities in the region and provide key insights on topics important to companies looking to operate or broaden their reach in the Rockies."
