This webinar will provide tax executives and managers with a practical guide to handling challenging state income tax apportionment involving sales of services and intangible personal property. The panel will detail various states' methods of apportioning revenues from services and intangibles, discuss current developments in market-based sourcing, and offer practical guidance on handling multistate apportionment challenges.

Description

To date, about two-thirds of the states have moved to apportion the sale of non-tangible personal property on a market-based approach basis rather than on a cost of performance basis. This trend has coincided with states' deviation from a traditional three-factor apportionment approach to a single-factor apportionment.

Market-based sourcing requires sellers to apportion income from the sales of services to the state where services are received by or delivered to the purchaser or where the benefit of the services is received. While one rationale for moving to a market-based apportionment is administrative ease, determining where a service or intangible is delivered or where such benefit is received presents numerous challenges to corporate tax professionals. This is especially true when the location where the buyer receives the benefit is indeterminable.

Listen as our experienced panel provides practical guidance and the most recent developments to state initiatives to implement market-based sourcing of income arising from sales of services or intangible personal property.
