Add To Cart

Bloomberg BNA's 13th annual Survey of State Tax Departments, asked many questions aimed at clarifying each state's positions on the gray areas of corporate income and sales and use tax administration, with an emphasis on nexus policies. Now we want to share those results with you in a brand new webinar – and all registrants will receive a copy of the 2013 Survey with our compliments!


This year, the states told us the different scenarios under which income tax nexus could be triggered by an out-of-state corporation owns or leases an internet server within their borders. The states further explained their nexus policies regarding telecommuters and specified their tax treatment of non-U.S. entities.

Sales tax nexus questions covered activities such as trade shows, shipments from an unrelated distribution center, and the consequences of being part of a controlled group with an affiliate that is physically present within a state.
Be among the first to learn the results of Bloomberg BNA’s annual Survey of State Tax Departments!

Upon completion of this program, you will be able to:

  • Know the latest developments and trends regarding income and sales tax nexus
  • Identify the types of activities, which by themselves, might be sufficient to trigger income or sales tax nexus in a state
  • Understand the legal theories upon which the emerging state nexus doctrines are base
  • Anticipate the nexus claims that may arise as a result of certain types of activities
