Determining how sales and use tax apply to software and digital goods can be intimidating for even experienced tax professionals, and with good reason. Companies across the board are constantly developing new software and digital products for the market and the result is a rapidly evolving tax landscape. Sales of software and digital goods can be taxed differently on a state-by-state basis as states work to understand new technologies, define them, and ultimately, tax them. For example, the way in which software is delivered (tangible vs. electronically vs. remotely accessed) and whether it’s prewritten or custom can mean the difference between the sale being taxable or exempt. Rarely is software licensed as a stand-alone product these days – bundling different services and digital goods is more common. How does a bundle of information services, training and software get classified? Is the true object test the approach to take? Or does a taxable component of the bundle taint the entire charge? You need to understand the differences in how these products are taxed no matter if you work on the buyer or seller side of software and digital good transactions. This webinar will teach you how to manage sales tax correctly for these transactions so you can avoid costly errors and increased audit risk. 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 webinar is also intended for those who make sales or purchases of software and digital good products. The course is also designed for general practitioners, with minimal to no experience.
