Sales Tax Streamlining Becomes Reality

CD of Live 90-Minute Telephone Conference with an Interactive Q&A Session Conducted on September 14, 2005 Now available on CD

The Streamlined Sales Tax Project is now a “go” for widespread rollout on Oct. 1 In addition to getting ready for a uniform sales tax code in nearly 20 states, your corporate tax department must now make other key decisions and preparations to ensure a smooth transition into streamlining.

Is your current tax compliance software vendor one of the seven companies that the SSTP may qualify as a "certified service provider" (CSP) to provide BOTH software and tax guidance? The seven prospects are Taxware Inc., Sales Tax Services, EDS Corp., Avalara, Salis, Paychex, and Exactor Inc.

Or, will your vendor be one of the chosen "certified automated systems providers" that sell compliance software only? And if your vendor isn’t on the certified lists, should your tax department convert to a new vendor or try to get an in-house compliance system certified?

How will your tax staff become conversant with the new central tax registration database where your company can register and re-register to collect sales and use taxes in all participating SSTP states?

Listen as our expert panel provides you with the information and tools you need:

They'll offer their best guidance on:

• Evaluating the pros and cons of the various certified service providers and certified automated systems providers and make a well-informed analysis of which compliance platform your company should use going forward.
• Being prepared to use the central tax registration database when it goes live on Oct. 1.
• Staying thoroughly briefed about new states expected to join the streamlining fold, pending changes in member states' sales tax laws, and alterations to the SSTP's ground rules - and the impact on your company.
