Grant Thornton's 2017 Outlook, Trends and Predictions
Alert focuses on how we believed 2016 would unfold from a SALT
perspective, and how these predictions lined up with what actually
happened. Also included are ten new predictions on critical SALT
issues that, in our view, will be ripe for consideration in
2017.
As we have historically done, we take accountability for the
predictions that we made in last year's Outlook alert. While
our record was far from perfect, reflecting on what we thought
would happen in 2016, and how reality differed from that initial
perception, is crucial in developing insights on what may or may
not occur this year. With respect to what's to come, readers
should be forewarned that a particularly complex mix of
geopolitical factors currently in play at the federal and state
levels is likely to make the ability to predict what will happen in
2017 significantly more challenging than in most years.
