The biggest questions for sales tax in 2025...  ❓Will more states drop the 200-transaction count for economic nexus?  More states have raised economic nexus thresholds to rely solely on gross sales. For example, North Carolina repealed the 200-transaction count effective July 1 of this year, while Alaska will remove the 200-transaction count effective January 1, 2025. Who is next?    ❓Are digital advertising taxes and retail delivery fees here to stay?  Unique types of taxes are constantly discussed- such as Maryland’s digital advertising tax or Colorado’s retail delivery fee. As states are searching for more revenue, do you think more taxes are on the way?    ❓Is the federal government going to do anything?  Talk of sales tax hit the Senate this year, with a Senate Subcommittee Hearing on Providing Small Business Relief from Remote Sales Tax Collection. Senator Maggie Hassan developed a plan to ease small businesses' issues. Can that beat the gridlock?    Get the answers and more at our upcoming live session, The Future of Sales Tax: Major Trends and Strategies for 2025.

Different types of exemptions you need to know about: ➡️Resale exemptions: consistent across almost every state, resale exemptions ensure that sales tax is not applied to items that are being resold, but rather when the item is sold at retail. ➡️Drop shipments: in the same vein as a resale exemption, drop shipment exemptions ensure the correct collection of sales tax... but you need to make sure it is documented correctly! ➡️Purchaser type: items can be exempt from sales tax depending on who is buying! Some examples include selling to the federal government, state and local governments (although it depends on the state and locality!), government contractors, or specific types of exempt organizations. ➡️Industry and use-based exemptions: certain states exempt certain industries or use types. One example is Colorado and Minnesota exempting small businesses from their Retail Delivery Fees. ➡️Product Specific Exemptions: states can provide exemptions for certain items for a variety of reasons: promoting social welfare, encouraging business in an underdeveloped area, or out of environmental concern. In the news, Nevada just approved a sales tax exemption for diapers. At the end of the day, the most important thing to remember about exemptions is that you must have documentation. If you don’t have the right exemption certificates filled out correctly and at the correct time, you could miss out on major tax obligations. Find out all about the different types of exemptions and how to properly document them here! https://lnkd.in/gREK2zZv #Exempt #Resale #ExemptionTips
