Navigating Sales and Use Tax Compliance in 2022

Price: $ + applicable taxes

Over 40% of state budgets are funded by sales tax, and in the era of online sales, states aren’t always receiving the sales tax they’re owed.

That, plus the economic strain brought on by COVID-19, has many states actively looking to crack down on sales tax policies and bring in more revenue.

For companies, it’s now critical to ask: are you in full compliance with current sales tax regulations? Do you have airtight policies and procedures to help Sales, Purchasing, and Finance navigate this complex landscape and minimize tax obligations?

Join our 60-minute program to learn how to develop a solid plan for sales and use tax compliance to avoid stressful audits and expensive fines in the long term.

You’ll leave this event ready to:

Accurately differentiate between sales tax and use tax
Identify when sales tax nexus applies and the impact on sales tax
