Advantous is proud to sponsor and speak at the Institute for Professionals in Taxation's (IPT) 50th Anniversary Annual Conference, taking place June 22–25, 2026, in Honolulu, Hawaii.

We are excited to have Jimmy Leonard featured as a speaker on the panel, "Paddling in Sync: Aligning Sales and Property Tax Teams."

Attendees will gain practical insights into reducing risk, strengthening compliance, and driving greater efficiency across tax operations.

As one of the premier gatherings for state and local tax professionals, the IPT Annual Conference provides an outstanding opportunity to share expertise, exchange ideas, and engage in meaningful discussions on the issues shaping the future of tax administration. We look forward to connecting with colleagues from across the industry in Honolulu.

🚨 Tax Policy Alert: Texas Data Centers
If you have not yet seen it, Governor Abbott issued a directive this week to the PUC and ERCOT that could have significant implications for data center development in Texas. Among the items included is a pledge to work with the Legislature to repeal sales tax exemptions and other incentives for data centers.

While much of the attention will focus on grid reliability and infrastructure costs, the potential impact on future investment decisions and economic development will be worth watching closely.

As policymakers evaluate potential changes, it will be important to consider both the costs and the benefits that large-scale capital investment brings to Texas, including jobs, economic activity, and state and local tax revenues.

This is an issue that Advantous Consulting will be monitoring as we move toward the next legislative session.
