Overview

Understanding the essentials of sales and use tax is crucial for effectively supporting a company’s financial operations. However, getting started can often feel overwhelming, especially when you are unsure where to focus your efforts. If you find yourself asking questions like, “How does sales tax work? What is nexus?” You’re not alone. It’s common to feel uncertain when navigating the complex arena of business tax. Rest assured, our Sales Tax 101 webinar is here to guide you through it all.

This course is designed for beginners and those who want to brush up on the basics, offering clear explanations of foundational concepts like sales tax calculation, nexus, and compliance obligations. Even if you’re already familiar with these terms, we dive deeper into recent updates and changes to key definitions that could affect your business.

The information in this course is a valuable resource for anyone looking to build a strong, up-to-date foundation in sales and use tax.

Who should attend?

This webinar is intended for financial and operations personnel—including tax, general accounting, accounts payable, sales, tax technology, purchasing and credit—who deal with sales and use tax as part of their responsibilities. The course is also designed for general practitioners, with minimal to no experience.

Very informative. Diane Yetter held my attention the entire hour and a half. I definitely need to take more classes.
