Event Synopsis:

It’s no secret that states are under fire because of the budget crisis caused by recession. States are fighting back by resurrecting laws such as the Affiliate Nexus laws which give them the ability to levy taxes on businesses that sell in the state without a physical presence there. Colorado has led the charge by outlining comprehensive legislation which authorizes the state to levy penalties up to $250,000 for first year offenders.

This live webcast will cover the most critical Multi-State tax issues today including:
- Sales & Use Tax
- Nexus
- E-commerce & Digital Downloads Taxes
- Cloud Computing Taxes
- Up-to-the-minute regulatory updates

Join this live webcast sponsored by The Knowledge Group to learn about the critical elements of this legislation.
