Learning Objective

  • To identify the basic types of sales and use taxes and why those distinctions are important, key presumptions endemic to this tax type, and vital compliance reporting and documentation responsibilities for sellers and consumers.
  • To review the basic conceptual framework for core definitions such as; tax base, tax sourcing, exemptions, exclusions, and nexus, and why they are important to understand and how to address them at a fundamental level.
  • To analyze potential problem areas for your company and how to reduce your risk and possible exposure. 
  • To examine possible consequences for non-compliance, and how to address known exposures, ambiguous issues, and other deficiencies.

Course Overview

When presumptions or even simple logic are applied to the governing statutes, rules, and tax policy, sales tax can become an issue.

In terms of risk management, this conceptual framework is crucial since it significantly affects how the law was originally framed, as well as the taxpayer's burden of proof, their paperwork needs, and the potential repercussions of non-compliance.

This webinar is a primer on core sales and use tax concepts, the overall taxing scheme behind this tax type, taxability theory, and of course, important practical applications for the professional. It is also designed as a helpful refresher on the basic concepts for more experienced staff. 

We hope to help you avoid those potential pitfalls by becoming more informed on the theory. You often don't know what you don't know.

Key topics covered in this CE Tax Course:

  • The types of sales tax (gross receipts versus transaction taxes) and important features 
  • What is use tax, who owes it, and how do you comply with the law?
  • Tax base issues and how to address them; Core taxability and theory including presumptions of taxability, fiduciary responsibilities, and reporting requirements.
  • Sales tax sourcing and how it is determined and why it is important; Addressing exclusions and exemptions and the differences between them.
  • Best practice compliance principles and documentation; Preparing for the audit and the audit process.
  • Sales tax nexus concepts and why they are vital to understanding

Join this webinar, we intend to dispel some myths about sales tax and establish the groundwork for additional study so that our attendees will know the questions to pose, the areas to investigate, and the pitfalls to avoid.

JL

James Lum, CPA (US)

A very good overall primer and approach to handling sales/use tax issues. In my 30+ years working for partnerships, llcs, and corporations, I've come across more assessments due to use tax audits than for income tax -some which were very large. His recommendation to know the ins and outs of the sales tax issues that are pertinent to you business is crucial and the guidelines he presents are tried and true.

AB

Asahi Biosciences, Others

I have been filing and paying our company's use tax each month, but this class was still very informative. The teacher was very thorough in explaining the basic concepts. I now feel more confident in my knowledge of deciding which invoices I need to pay use tax on.
