Course Overview

Sales & Use tax is a type of gross receipts tax imposed by most states on the sale of “tangible personal property” (such as computers, chairs, car parts, furniture, etc.) and certain services (such as information services, software services, etc.). Every state has a different set of rules that controls what types of items and services are taxed. Also, every state has different types of exemptions and exclusions from sales tax that favor some businesses and can be costly to others. 

Most business owners are unaware that even if they believe that they are not required to collect sales tax, proper exemption paperwork from their customers should still be obtained. Also, most business owners are completely unaware of USE TAX being due on their nontaxable sales. 

To prevent out-of-state sellers from having a competitive advantage over in-state sellers, all states (that have a sales tax) impose a “use tax” on in-state purchasers. This use tax requires all purchasers (individuals and businesses) to pay use tax on any item normally subject to sales tax unless the applicable sales tax has already been paid. 

This online CPE webinar for CPAs covered key topics: 

  • Basic understanding of Sales Tax
  • Who is responsible for paying Sales Tax?
  • The Sales Tax Return filing jurisdictions
  • How specific business activities can create a connection to the state?
  • What types of products and services are subject to sales tax?

I needed a refresher on Sales Tax as I'm helping Nonprofits get their paperwork setup and their organization going. I've had questions on Sales Tax and have not dealt with it much since college. This actually answered every question I had except for my state specific taxable items. It is exactly what I needed!
