With the current fiscal environment, states are looking to increase tax revenue without creating new taxes. This leaves those tasked with managing their business' sales-and-use-tax function with a critical endeavor — properly characterizing what is being sold.

For our final quarterly webcast in 2024, members of EY's Sales and Use Tax Practice will discuss how changing state policies can shift this characterization. They will also cover sales-and-use-tax audit trends and leading practices around this critical determination.

In this webcast, we will also complete our four-part series on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in state and local taxation. Part IV will focus on potential applications of generative AI in the tax profession, particularly leveraging agents and digital teams.

We will round out the webcast with a state and local tax policy discussion. Topics to be discussed include an update on the current state of the states, trends from 2024 state legislative sessions and the policy considerations going into the 2025 legislative sessions.

Please join us for this 90-minute, interactive webcast. We welcome and encourage you to ask questions.

Date: Wednesday, 4 December 2024

Time: 1:00-2:30 p.m. ET New York; 10:00-11:30 a.m. PT Los Angeles
