Deep-Dive Trending Topic Sessions

Each of these topics will be discussed in depth in an average of a 2 hour session to really understand the issues and help you develop practical strategies to apply in your business.

Challenges and Opportunities for Marketplace Facilitators and Sellers
Marketplaces of all kinds, whether they are commonly known B2C marketplaces such as Amazon and eBay or ones you might never know exist that cater to a B2B market, have added new layers of complexity to sales tax compliance for companies across the United States. Now that every state has enacted marketplace facilitator collection responsibilities, what do marketplace sellers need to be aware of? What are the obligations of the marketplace facilitators? This session will cover sales tax issues from both the perspective of the marketplace seller and marketplace facilitator. Dive into all the angles of dealing with sales tax for marketplaces, including nexus provisions, responsibility for tax collection, reporting requirements, implementation challenges, and resources to find helpful information.

Sales Tax Systems: Integrations, Maintenance, Sales Tax Management, and More
If your company is in the market for a sales tax automation system, there are more solutions available now than ever before. Some of the new offerings aren’t stand alone tax engines but rather built into shopping carts and payment processing solutions. That’s a good thing! But with so many options available, it is also harder than ever to figure out which system is right for your company… and the stakes are high. If you select the right system, it can make everyone’s life easier and result in major cost and time savings. This session will map out what you need to consider when selecting a tax automation system or tools for your company that will meet your business needs. We’ll cover pros and cons of bolt ons vs built ins. You’ll learn about many of the different automation options available in the market today – from tax engines to sales tax management solutions – to help you manage growing multi-state sales tax obligations.

Operational Considerations for Mergers and Acquisitions
Business reorganizations are fraught with difficulties and figuring out the sales and use tax implications of these transactions is no exception. If your company is ever a party to a merger, acquisition, or other type of corporate reorganization, you’ll need to know exactly what you’re getting into before the process begins. In this session, we’ll discuss the best practices to follow if your company undergoes a merger or acquisition from both the buyer and the seller perspective. From due diligence to liability issues to registration, account closure and administration and audit issues, we’ll show you how to handle these complex and difficult transactions the right way, so you can ensure you don’t make costly mistakes.

What’s New in Dealing with Drop Shipments
Drop shipments are tricky when it comes to sales tax because of the sheer number of factors at play. They are more complicated than a regular sale transaction and this makes it much more likely to incur costly mistakes. Learn how to correctly manage sales tax for drop shipments in light of changes created by the South Dakota v. Wayfair decision and what you can do to mitigate your audit risk. The session will also cover the latest issues we’ve been seeing with drop shipments, like how to respond to a seller that is being strict on exempt certificate acceptance and as a shipper, knowing when you can accept a home state number when you think the seller should be registered.

Consumer’s Use Tax Deep Dive
If you make a purchase of taxable property or services and the seller doesn’t collect sales tax on the transaction, you are required to pay consumer’s use tax in any jurisdiction where you have nexus. We will cover commonly faced challenges such as goods movement issues and use tax accrual after claiming a temporary storage exemption. Learn about options such as direct pay authority and purchasing companies as ways to take control. Knowing your options and finding the right tool to fit your needs is key to paying the right amount of tax, every time. We’ll also cover automation ideas from simple stand-alone solutions to integrated third party tax engine solutions that can help reduce the time involved on this critical task.

Sales Tax Resources to Make Your Job Easier
Sales tax specific resources can change the game for a sales tax professional working as a part of a small team or a team of one. The time that can be saved by knowing the right resource to use can save tremendous effort and funds for the company. There are all sorts of resources available (free as well as for a fee), including those specific to tax research, monitoring tax law changes, nexus monitoring, audit support, data manipulation, and networking. Join this session for a discussion and knowledge share about all the resources available to you. Come ready to share your go to resources with the group
