As businesses expand across state lines, sales and use tax obligations can change quickly. Missed registrations, under-collected sales tax and overlooked use tax accruals can create exposure that compounds over time — often until an audit or transaction forces the issue.

This webinar is designed to help you identify common sales and use task risks — before they become costly problems. We cover:

  • Sales tax risks: What is generally taxable, what is not and how to confirm you’re collecting the correct state and local tax rates.
  • Use tax best practices: How to implement or refine processes for identifying taxable purchases when vendors do not charge sales tax.
  • Nexus considerations: What activities create sales and use tax nexus and what steps to take if your organization has established nexus in additional states.
  • Managing past exposure: Practical approaches for addressing historical liabilities and limiting risk.

Wipfli’s state and local tax team works with organizations across industries to navigate the realities of multistate sales and use tax compliance. Working directly with state revenue agencies, our professionals help businesses identify liabilities, understand their obligations and develop practical plans for moving forward.

Watch this session for clarity on your organization’s sales and use tax exposure — and learn how to address risks before they trigger an audit or due diligence review.
