Kay will speak at the Dole Institute of Politics on Thursday, September 13 at 7:00 p.m. The event is free to the public.

Kay will discuss the search for uncertainty, controversy, transparency and simplification that leads Treasury to propose tax legislation or to publish tax guidance. She will illustrate the role of the Office of Tax Policy in developing and reviewing legislation, regulations and other published guidance. Kay will also discuss selected tax provisions including the alternative minimum tax (AMT).

Sharon Kay is a Taxation Specialist in the Office of Tax Legislative Counsel in the United States Department of the Treasury in Washington, D.C.
