About the Webinar

It is critical for businesses that operate in multiple jurisdictions to implement a technology solution to accurately manage sales and use tax functions.

The right tax system implemented correctly will help you to reduce errors, increase productivity, and avoid potential audit fines and penalties.

When it comes to implementing an automated tax system, you only get one chance to do it correctly. Learn the best practices from an expert who has guided dozens of companies through this transition. Get equipped with the information you need to do the job right.
