His work focuses on state and local taxation of business under corporate income and sales taxes, including taxation of Internet commerce.

In 2010 State Tax Notes magazine named Mazerov to its “All Decade State Tax Team.”

His research at the Commission supported its uniformity, enforcement, friend-of-the-court, and federal legislative activities.
