Pillsbury SALT is excited to welcome back Annie H. Huang to the team!
Annie’s experience focuses on state and local tax matters, including corporate franchise and income, personal income, sales and use, and gross receipts and other local taxes.

She joins Pillsbury’s San Francisco office as a partner.
The California Attorney General has confirmed the Office of Tax Appeals (OTA) may decline to apply a tax regulation in a taxpayer appeal if it conflicts with the relevant statute. OTA must afford appropriate deference to the issuing agency, but its authority extends to setting aside the regulation for that appeal. OTA lacks authority to invalidate or repeal the regulation more broadly or to apply its conclusions outside the specific appeal.
Pillsbury SALT partner Aruna Chittiappa will be speaking at NYU’s Introduction to State and Local Tax program.
Pillsbury SALT partner Robert P. Merten III will be an instructor for the 2025 Summer Tax Institute, hosted by the UC Davis School of Law.
