Course Description

The Supreme Court’s ruling on the Wayfair case in late June has sent reverberations across the states. As an accounting professional, you likely have clients that sell online or through a marketplace and across state lines. Or maybe you are a controller or finance professional responsible for your company’s sales tax processes.  The recent Supreme Court ruling on the South Dakota v. Wayfair case, although decided in favor of South Dakota, may not have cleared up all of your questions on changes in tax rules.  This decision grants the state authority to impose sales tax obligations on out-of-state transactions even if physical presence doesn’t exist in the state of delivery.  So what happens now?

Key topics covered during this session:  
•    Information you will need to gather to evaluate the requirement to collect tax in different states
•    How states differ in their provisions and authority
•    The impact of the Wayfair decision to businesses other than just online sellers
•    What marketplace facilitator tax collection means and the impact on your clients who are remote sellers
•    When notice and reporting provisions will still apply
•    Additional information that will help you advise your clients

Join sales tax expert Diane Yetter of the Sales Tax Institute and Yetter Tax to get updates to what has changed in the last 5 weeks. Learn what this ruling means for clients and how you can best advise them to adapt to the new rules.
