Gain an understanding of different factors that affect the sales tax treatment of software maintenance agreements.
The sales tax treatment of software taxation is always changing. Additional complexities arise when trying to determine the tax treatment of software warranty and maintenance agreements. With the enactment of economic nexus statutes across the U.S., determining the correct taxation of warranty and maintenance agreements is more important than ever, as the requirement to collect tax in most states is now based solely upon sales made into the jurisdiction. If a company fails to collect, they may be held liable for tax due on their sales plus penalties and interest. This topic will help you gain a better understanding of the factors that affect the sales tax treatment of software maintenance agreements.
