Beginning with 1999 cases, the decisions and select rulings of the Wisconsin Tax Appeals Commission (TAC) have been placed Wisbar.org for the benefit of attorneys and the general public. The TAC is an independent state agency that hears and decides disputes between the Department of Revenue(and, in a very limited way, the Department of Transportation) and individual taxpayers and entities.
