Join Marilyn for the 2020 Virtual Advanced State and Local Tax Institute on August 12-13. This Institute, hosted by Georgetown Law's Executive and Continuing Legal Education Department, has provides attorneys, accountants, and tax managers with in-depth, practical analysis of significant state and local tax developments.
In her presentation, "Blowing the Whistle on Qui Tam Laws", Marilyn will discuss how state False Claims Acts (“FCA”) have recently been applied as a enforcement tool and the policy-based concerns with FCA laws as applied to tax and unclaimed property and escheat compliance, including: (1)the outside “whistleblower” phenomenon ; (2)the broadening of FCA laws to cover non-FCA appropriate areas of tax and unclaimed property ; and (3)the treble damages extortion racket.
