Since the US Supreme Court's landmark decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, out-of-state sellers must collect sales tax on goods and services delivered to other states. As a result, other taxes are also being affected. This requires sellers to monitor these evolving standards and nexus in every state, as well as implement processes and automate tax solutions to manage the process and reduce audit risk. In this self-study webinar, we will review:
- Sales tax compliance obligations for sellers
- Monitoring changing tax laws
- Processes and automated tax solutions to reduce audit risk
To provide tax professionals with an overview of the changing sales tax nexus landscape, in order to minimize the risk of a sales tax audit, and manage the audit process and documentation flow.
