Administering the Sales Tax Function

When you’re the person charged with sales tax duties in your company, you need to know the right way to handle sales tax administrative issues. Your company will come to you when questions come up about the forms and filing, tax obligations, law interpretation, and handling an audit notice. Are you ready?

If not, your sales tax administration isn’t up-to-snuff.

To get things in order you could spend days piecing together all the bits you need to have sales tax running smoothly in your company on your own with online searching, making calls, and emailing who you can. (A daunting task that leads to mixed results!) Or you can get what you need in a 90-minute webinar taught by a leading expert who has coached businesses through these exact processes for over 30 years.

Getting expert advice on the most crucial aspects of sales tax administration – including registration, exemption certificates, filing and remittance, invoicing, and more – helps you avoid costly mistakes down the line.

Because here’s the thing…

Your compliance starts with how you’re handling sales tax administration internally. Your administration and management of sales tax needs sets the course for everything. 

This webinar will get your sales tax administration in order. You’ll learn how to implement policies and procedures that guide your internal team through everyday compliance duties, provide insight to company leaders when they need it, and educate non-sales tax staff how to support the sales tax function.
