GREENWICH, Conn., Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- States are aggressively looking for ways to boost taxes and are focusing on additional sales taxes. If you sell products or services across state boundaries, you need to stay up-to-date on which rules apply in each state in which you do business. Otherwise, you may be violating tax laws and subject to liability, penalties and interest.

Audits of U.S. businesses, involving fees and penalties, are on the rise. Definitions of "Nexus" and registration rules are changing rapidly, making it nearly impossible to keep up on your own. Regardless, finance and accounting staffs need to keep up-to-date to avoid unexpected liabilities, penalties or interest.

The Institute of Finance & Management (IOFM) presents a webinar:

Sales Tax Nexus and Registration: Changes that Impact Sellers and Buyers

Wednesday, Nov. 9 (2 pm ET, 1 pm CT, 12 noon MT, 11 am PT)

During this 90-minute webinar, you'll learn which states have passed "Click Through" and "Affiliate Nexus" statutes and which states are still considering these provisions. You'll also find out the status of federal legislation as well as the Multistate Tax Commission efforts for remote seller reporting.

Webinar leader and sales tax expert Diane Yetter will:

  • Help you avoid liability and penalties for uncollected tax
  • Give you an understanding of how these changes impact your organization
  • Provide sellers with a better understanding of whether their activities would be deemed a physical presence in a state such that they would be required to collect sales tax
  • Provide purchasers with a perspective on why some of their suppliers charge tax and others don't
  • Help you understand what "Click Through" and "Affiliate Nexus" are - and mean to you
  • Give you the latest updates on state legislation related to "Click Through" and "Affiliate Nexus"
  • Review the Federal Mainstreet Tax Fairness Act and its impact on the states
  • Summarize the Multi State Tax Commission proposed rules: where they will apply and what they will require

An open Q&A period will follow the presentation to give you answers to your specific questions.
