Tax Laws in Arizona.

Arizona tax disputes can involve audits, assessments, individual and corporate income tax, transaction privilege (sales) tax, use tax, property tax, and employer withholding, at both the state and federal level. Arizona state-tax analysis runs through the Arizona Department of Revenue, with administrative appeals and the State Board of Tax Appeals as primary forums before heading to court.
