The explosive growth of online sales and global trade means that your clients are often selling not only across state but also international borders. This webinar will use Canada as an example of the challenges associated with sales tax compliance. We will go through the various federal and provincial sales taxes imposed in Canada and how they are similar and how they differ, including the differences between the value added taxes and provincial sales and use taxes. The webinar will also discuss the sales tax bases for the various jurisdictions, a high level discussion of nexus, and compliance and administration for non-residents.
