- Site selection and tax credits and incentives: For U.S.-based companies expanding overseas or for multinational clients establishing a U.S. presence, expanding, consolidating and relocating affords you the opportunity to choose an ideal environment that minimizes your tax liability. Whether you are choosing a site for sales, production or distribution purposes, our team can help you find the best location.

- Unclaimed property: Unclaimed property is anything a business owes to its customers, creditors, employees, shareholders or vendors. It can include items such as voided or uncashed checks, unused gift certificates or any other unclaimed monies. Each state has specific unclaimed property laws that require businesses to report unclaimed property that has not been used for a particular period of time. SD Mayer has extensive experience helping businesses complete compliance and reduce audit exposure. We create audit defense, voluntary disclosure agreements, M&A due diligence, refund reviews and feasibility studies.

Our Specialties
We specialize in numerous types of state and local tax, including:
- Income, franchise and gross receipts: With more closed loopholes and higher tax revenue collected through audits, state income and franchise tax collections measures have become very aggressive. At SD Mayer, we draw on our resources in every state and locality nationwide to ensure state and local tax compliance and reduce your tax burden.
- Property tax: Property tax is a major revenue source for local governments, which means it can be a huge expense for your business. We use tax negotiation, filing, inventory valuation and analysis to proactively manage tax liability for businesses in nearly every industry.
