Lucian Khan

Attorney at Law

Lucian Khan, Esq., has over 30 years of professional experience working at the California State Board of Equalization, including more than 20 years within the agency’s Legal Department. Lucian started at the Board of Equalization as a Business Tax Representative, providing legal advice, and assisting taxpayers with registration and compliance with the sales and use tax law.

After earning his Juris Doctor degree and becoming a licensed attorney, Lucian worked as a Deputy District Attorney, where he prosecuted more than 50 jury trial cases. He then returned to the Board of Equalization, first as a Business Tax Appeals Hearing Officer, and subsequently as an Appeals Supervisor. During that time, Lucian authored over 700 tax decisions and reviewed more than 5,000 decisions. He was also instrumental in developing the formatting and review policies, which are currently used for processing California sales and use tax decisions. Many of his decisions and opinions have formed the basis for sales and use tax annotations, published by the Board of Equalization.

Prior to leaving the Board of Equalization, Lucian spent five years in the Settlement Division, where he handled complex appeals, as a Settlement Officer and reviewer. Lucian’s extensive and unique experience makes him a tremendous resource for our California and multistate clients.
