FALLS CHURCH, Va., July 17, 2017 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tax Analysts today announced the winners of its annual student writing competition for 2017.

To support tax education and encourage our future tax leaders, Tax Analysts sponsors an annual writing competition that enables students who win to publish a paper in Tax Notes, State Tax Notes, or Tax Notes International and receive a 12-month online subscription to all of these weekly magazines after graduation.

The first two winning papers published in this week's State Tax Notes are by Shelby Miner, a student at UCLA School of Law, and Ben Livni, a student at Loyola Law School. Minor's paper, titled "The Use Tax Problem: Practicality or Propriety?", proposes a four-factor presence nexus standard that could be customized for each state's specific needs.
