2020 was a year of unprecedented revenue shortfalls with minimal legislation due to the pandemic. That sets up 2021 to address a number of sales tax policy proposals that have the potential to shake up the sales tax landscape for businesses across the board.
In this roundtable discussion, the four sales tax experts will examine how the most significant sales tax issues of 2020 will play into policy initiatives and state revenue recovery tactics in 2021. Their analysis will include a 2021 legislative update that covers current legislative proposals, what is expected to stick, and the pros and cons of various proposals for businesses.
Beyond the impact of new legislation, each expert will share major sales tax issues facing taxpayers today – from audits to technology to the continued impact of Wayfair – and outline strategies to mitigate the challenges for your business.
Each of the webinar panelists is a CPA or attorney, a sales tax practitioner, or an insider in the sales tax technology space. This provides four well-rounded perspectives to get you thinking about proactive steps you can take to keep your company compliant in 2021 and beyond.
Join the webinar to learn how to prepare for sales tax law changes on the horizon and how to shift your company’s strategies to manage sales tax more efficiently and effectively.
