Local taxes continue to surprise even the most compliant taxpayers, often because local taxes may be separately administered and have nexus, taxability, or situsing rules that are not uniform with the state-level sales or gross receipts tax. These differences and aggressive implementation can often result in controversial audits and protracted litigation. This webinar will address recent developments in local indirect taxes and fees across the country that often give taxpayers the most heartburn, including but not limited to the Chicago Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax, San Francisco Business Tax, and Colorado home-rule local sales tax.

After this session, attendees will:

• Gain insights into how local taxes, such as sales or gross receipts taxes, differ from state-level taxes in terms of nexus, taxability, and situsing rules.
• Learn about significant updates and trends in local indirect taxes and fees across the U.S., including specific local jurisdictions like the Chicago Personal Property Lease Transaction Tax, San Francisco Business Tax, and Colorado home-rule local sales tax.
• Recognize the potential compliance pitfalls that arise due to non-uniform tax rules and aggressive enforcement by local jurisdictions.
• Develop strategies to address controversial audits and manage protracted litigation related to local taxes effectively.
