Scott Peterson, Vice President of U.S. Tax Policy and Government Relations, Avalara

On June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court’s ruling in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. drastically changed the way businesses are required to manage sales tax. It enabled states to tax retailers that have economic activity but no physical presence in a state (economic nexus).

Fast forward two years and all but two of the 45 states with a general sales tax have adopted economic nexus laws, leaving many businesses with sales tax obligations in multiple states. But thresholds vary by state and continue to change, making compliance anything but simple.

If you’re struggling to understand – and manage - your business’s obligations, you are not alone. This session will review the challenges of managing to the new rules and reveal solutions that can keep your business on track.

Learning Objective:

• Learn what economic nexus is and how to determine when you or your client has triggered it in a state
• Considerations for your business to more efficiently manage sales tax
• Audit and liability – how to avoid the pitfalls
• Technology and systems that bring efficiencies
• Tools and resources to help you stay up-to-date

Who Should Attend:
Accountants and Attorneys

Basic knowledge of Nexus and sales tax
