As your company grows and expands its sales footprint, the chances of being audited by a state taxing entity increase significantly. While sales tax audits in a business are fairly routine, they can still divert significant time and resources from a company’s normal daily activities. So, most of us would rather not have to deal with an audit, or if one is imminent, we’d like to get it handled as quickly and efficiently as possible. This course will focus on some sales and use tax basics like taxable presence (nexus), qualified exemptions, and sourcing of sales. We will also focus on acceptable documentation and things that companies can do today to mitigate both the chance of audit, and/or reduce the length of an audit. Finally, we’ll talk about tips in dealing with an audit, what a “typical” process might look like, and how to navigate the audit and communicate with the auditor.

"Monika is a wonderful instructor and she does just that! Instructs! I got so much information from this presentation and so many questions answered, in a format that did not put me to sleep, but helped me do my job as a CPA better. I definitely recommend Monika to anyone interested in learning about sales tax. I will definitely be contacting her regarding what Avalara has to offer on this subject too."

"Useful webinar! It was the perfect length and enough detail for me to refresh my memory as to the things we need to consider before researching applicable state(s) requirements in detail. Until today, I didn't even think about asking my IT client how they handle computer that take out of inventory for self-use You have been added to my Outlook contacts."
