The mission of the Taxation Section is to provide educational opportunities to our members in all aspects of the practice of tax, promote diversity and inclusion and foster collegiality within the tax community, and to advocate for our members and the public to ensure an equitable and efficient tax system.

The Taxation Section is California’s only statewide tax bar association. The Taxation Section’s current membership is approximately 3,000, and we invite you to join us. The Section accepts attorneys from other states and non-attorneys as Affiliate Members. Affiliate Members include accountants, financial planners, pension and trust administrators, actuaries, tax executives, federal, state and local tax administrators, educators, other tax specialists, and law students. The Taxation Section has a number of standing committees. The Young Tax Lawyers have local committees throughout California established especially for tax practitioners with less than 10 years of practice experience.
