.

Sales and use tax professionals are faced with the legal and practical challenges of learning as many as 50 different state sales and use tax laws and regulations. No one could possibly learn all of the different state requirements and yet our jobs demand it. The purpose of this live webinar is to reveal the secrets to working in a multistate environment. You will learn about the four different types of taxing states which greatly reduces the complexity of a 50-state environment. Five states don’t even have sales and use taxes. You will master the principles of nexus and reduce your exposure to audit from other states. Since audits in this area are inevitable, audit techniques for negotiating with auditors and how to reduce the amount they assert your organization owes will be addressed.
