The California State Legislature overturned Microsoft’s recent win at the Office of Tax Appeals, which held that the gross amount of dividends received from foreign affiliates outside its water’s-edge group should be included in its sales factor denominator, regardless of the application of a dividends-received deduction excluding 75% of such dividends from its taxable base.

July is Military Consumer Month. On the eve of the Fourth of July, we celebrate democracy and the past service of our veterans and those presently in service for protecting us and our democracy. Thank you so very much. It is therefore fitting for July to be deemed Military Consumer Month. Special attention should be given to our service men and women to protect them from fraud, identity theft, and imposter scams.

The proposal appears to apply retroactively to January 1, 2024.
