This webinar will review the fluid list of jurisdictional taxes commonly imposed on multistate taxpayers by local taxing authorities. Our panel of indirect tax experts will address various types of indirect taxes and fees, examine local nexus guidelines, and offer advice for managing companies' challenges in complying with local administrations' requirements effectively.

Description

Wayfair's reach has widened beyond sales tax to other state and local tax types. The latter category, local and indirect taxes, is perhaps the most complex. The number of jurisdictions and types of taxes assessed by municipalities and localities continues to increase. Although these taxes are commonplace, there is no uniformity in their administration.

Included on the list of diverse taxes are amusement taxes imposed by Chicago, for example, on "all entertainment or recreational activities offered for public participation or on a membership or other basis are amusements subject to the tax." Streaming services are included with a tax rate of 10.25 percent as of Jan. 1, 2025. Chicago also imposes a meal tax on food and beverages sold at restaurants, as do many other localities nationwide, including Charlotte, Phoenix, and Virginia Beach.

Determining nexus requirements and administering the volatile and ever-expanding list of indirect taxes and fees is an arduous process for SALT advisers and multistate businesses.

Listen as our panel of seasoned SALT advisers discusses the complexities and implications of economic nexus beyond state sales tax and offers advice to meet the challenges companies face due to local administration of these taxes.
