About this Webinar
Is the sales tax simplification effort still
making progress? What is happening with
sourcing and digital property? Have new
states joined? Join us on September 5 and
receive an update on the status of SST as the
September meeting
of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board
(SSTGB) approaches.
The year 2006 represented
a number of milestones for the streamlined
effort. It marked the first anniversary of
the SSTGB, which administers the
Agreement, and included the first
certifications of third party providers as
Certified Service Providers (CSP's) and as
providers of Certified Automated Systems
(CAS) for sales and use tax compliance.
The year 2007 is shaping up as another busy
and significant year in the simplification
effort as the SSTGB deals with numerous issues
including how to define digital property
and how to treat direct mail and floral
orders wired between florists and has work
groups reviewing these
issues developing position papers and
possible amendments to the Agreement. SSTGB
also continues to review the
handling of sourcing of in-state sales for
local taxes where the purchase is shipped and
has established a task force to review this
matter. This task force is also looking at
the application of the Associate Member
concept. SSTGB appointed an Audit Committee
to establish procedures for the audit of
sellers using a CSP and to establish any
necessary procedures for sellers using a
CAS.
Included in this
program will be the current status of digital
property, direct mail, wire sales by florists,
and sourcing. We will also review the audit
process on a CSP processing transactions for
a seller and the status of new states joining
the effort during 2007.
