Additional Details About the U.S. Regional Sales Tax Roundup – The West Webinar

If you currently do business or are planning to do business in Alaska, California, Hawaii, Idaho, Montana, Oregon, Utah, Washington, or Wyoming, it’s essential to stay informed on the latest sales and use tax developments impacting these states. 

Each state in the Western U.S. presents its own unique set of tax rules, compliance hurdles, and administrative quirks. From understanding which products and services are taxable, to properly handling exemption certificates and local rate variations, it’s easy to overlook key details that can lead to costly errors. 

This webinar is designed to help businesses stay compliant and ahead of the curve. In a single session, you’ll get a comprehensive update on sales tax rules, recent legislative changes, and important court decisions affecting these nine states. 

We’ll cover tricky topics like Washington’s complex B&O tax structure, Hawaii’s distinctive General Excise Tax (GET), and how to approach states like Alaska, Montana, and Oregon where traditional sales tax isn’t imposed. Plus, we’ll break down how post-Wayfair economic nexus laws are being applied across the region and what that means for remote sellers and multi-state businesses. 

Whether you’re in retail, manufacturing, or a service industry, working as a contractor, accountant, or tax professional, this session will give you the insight you need to better manage compliance and reduce audit risk across the Western U.S. 

Specifically, the webinar covers:  
  • Learn the sales tax essentials for nine Western states, including updates on taxability, exemptions, and nexus rules shaped by recent legislative changes.
  • Get the latest on 2025 sales tax laws, including newly proposed and enacted bills and key court decisions that could impact your business operations and compliance strategies.
  • Understand each state’s post-Wayfair remote seller nexus standards and how evolving economic nexus thresholds affect online and out-of-state sellers today.
  • Discover unique sales tax challenges in these states, including emerging audit risks and common compliance pitfalls that could lead to penalties. 
  • Explore critical updates on exemption certificate requirements, sourcing rules, sales tax holidays, and amnesty programs designed to keep your tax practices current and compliant. 
  • Learn how Western tax authorities are adapting changes to filing deadlines and enforcement priorities.
  • Dive into specific state highlights such as Washington’s sales tax and B&O tax changes, Hawaii’s evolving GET rules, and tax considerations for no-sales-tax states like Oregon and Montana. 
  • Gain insight on how digital goods and services are increasingly being taxed across these states and what it means for your business revenue and reporting.
