The panel will discuss strategies for multijurisdictional companies, the impact of the digital economy, reporting, and other key issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Description<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tax professionals at many companies&#8211;big and small&#8211;might admit their use tax accrual procedures are not what they should be. This can become a dangerous vulnerability at a time when<strong>&nbsp;financially stressed state and local governments regard business use tax compliance as low-hanging fruit&nbsp;<\/strong>for audits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">States that charge sales tax also charge use tax and are&nbsp;<strong>increasing audits to enforce compliance and collect consumer use tax<\/strong>. Companies buying goods out of state or online must report and remit consumer use tax for the storage, use, or other consumption of property that was not subject to sales tax. The same applies when a business withdraws goods from inventory for its own use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Companies are responsible for assessing the accrual of use taxes and remitting payments to the state and\/or local tax authority. Determining the accrual of use taxes can be difficult due to swiftly evolving state laws in areas such as software-as-a-service delivery, digital assets, and new state nexus laws. Businesses involved with numerous sales for resale or purchases from&nbsp;<strong>remote vendors with no physical presence in their states&nbsp;<\/strong>must diligently manage the use tax accrual process at the proper tax rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Listen as our panel reviews common exposures in use tax accrual and offers general approaches to improvement that will benefit companies in multiple industries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Outline<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Staff policies and procedures concerning use tax accrual<\/li><li>Improved interactions with systems<\/li><li>Leveraging tools such as direct pay permits<\/li><li>Special issues with use tax accruals for particular industries due to evolving state tax law<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Benefits<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The panel will explore these and other relevant topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Tracking use tax and setting policies and procedures for them<\/li><li>Implementing more effective procedures to work with AP and GL systems on use tax accrual<\/li><li>Structuring a better approach with vendor tax validation<\/li><li>Leveraging tools such as direct pay permits<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.straffordpub.com\/products\/use-tax-accrual-validation-and-compliance-managing-systems-addressing-risks-audits-2021-11-11\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Register<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:41px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">FACULTY<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.taxops.com\/team\/tram-le\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Le, Tram\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.straffordpub.com\/img\/t\/1924a288ed3d2b44930931b5ac731369.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"><noscript><img class=\"lazyload\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Le, Tram\" src=\"https:\/\/www.straffordpub.com\/img\/t\/1924a288ed3d2b44930931b5ac731369.jpg\" width=\"100\" height=\"100\"><\/noscript><br><strong>Tram Le, CPA<\/strong><\/a><br>Senior Tax Manager<br>TaxOps<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ms. Le is a CPA and licensed attorney specializing in tax strategies for growing businesses.
