Overview

If you have business operations in the Southeast or make sales into Southern states, grab an ice-cold glass of sweet tea and get ready for this regional sales tax deep dive!

We’ll cover all the sales tax essentials for Southeastern States, including taxability and exemptions, sales tax rates, nexus issues, administrative items, and more for the Southeastern region.

A huge part of sales tax management for a region is keeping up with all of the legislative changes so you don’t miss a new requirement for your company. This webinar will get you caught up on important recent legislative changes affecting the area, including significant court cases, crucial sales tax updates, and more.

Additional Details About the UU.S. Regional Sales Tax Roundup: The Southeast Webinar

Much like Southern culture, sales tax in the Southern region of the U.S. has its own charms. 

If you currently do business or are planning to do business in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee, Virginia, and/or West Virginia, you need to be aware of key sales tax issues and unique tax situations for those states.

The heat may slow many things down in the South, but sales tax changes are not one of them. Sales tax rules and legislation are constantly changing at the state level. It can be nearly impossible to keep up with every important law change or court ruling that is taking place.

Each region has its own challenges and critical updates. For example, there have been a slew of administrative updates in recent months to incorporate into your processes like a new Consolidated Sales Tax Return filing option in South Carolina and an annual tax license renewal requirement in Alabama. And the question on everyone’s mind: will Florida enact economic and marketplace facilitation legislation. 

Join the webinar to learn critical sales tax rules and quirks for Southeastern states. You’ll get caught up on significant sales tax updates and legislative changes – including post-Wayfair nexus legislation – that can have an effect on your company’s operations.

Avoid costly errors and stay in compliance by getting the sales tax specifics for ten Southeastern states in a single session.
