WBA Sales Tax Audit Webinar
About the Webinar:
In recent audits, the Wisconsin Department of Revenue has focused extensively on the sales and use tax treatment of transactions that involve software or digital products, including “software as service” (“Saas”), “platform as service” (“PaaS”) or “infrastructure as service” (“IaaS”). In many of these audits, the Department has also raised the application of its “bundling” rules, which can treat (with important exceptions) as fully taxable transactions that involve a mix of taxable and nontaxable products.
In this webinar, we will discuss the scope of the Department’s recent audit activity as it relates to community banks; potential audit defenses; and planning to avoid or limit assessments in these evolving areas.
