The Tax Division represents the interests of the United States in contesting the improper imposition of state or local taxes on the federal government.

The United States Attorney’s Office should promptly refer to the Chief of the Civil Trial Section, Eastern Region, all requests for advice on tax immunity matters or for representation in persuading taxing authorities not to impose a tax or to institute litigation..
