Sales Tax Compliance: The Challenge

ZUORA    CUSTOMER  

 

Increased State Enforcement Federal Legislation

Use Tax

International Requirements

Constantly Changing Rates, Rules, & Boundaries

Product Taxability

Nexus (Physical Presence)

Filing & Returns

 States  define  Nexus  as  a  ‘tangible  physical  presence’  which  creates  the  requirement  to  collect  &  remit  Sales  Tax.        Nexus  triggering  events  can  include:    Traveling  Salespeople    Employees  on  Payroll      Training    Trade  Show  AFendance    Drop  Shippers  /  Warehousing      Affiliates          

Sales Tax Challenge: What is Nexus?

Product  Taxability  in  States  &  JurisdicNons  is  not  consistent  throughout  the  United  States.  

The  following  industries  have  varying  taxability  rules:  Software / Hardware (SAAS) Digital Goods (media/publishing) Medical device / equipment And many other industries / products!

Sales  Tax  Challenge:  Accuracy  

       Amazon  Laws  

–  Expanded  definiJon  of  NEXUS  

 US  Federal  LegislaNve  AcNon  – Marketplace  Fairness  Act  

•  Just  Passed  the  Senate  &  could  have  a  significant  impact  on  Zuora’s  exisJng  customers  

Sales Tax Compliance: The Challenge

Sales Tax Compliance: MFA

The Marketplace Fairness Act is a bill passed by the U.S. Senate on May 6, 2013.

 Strong,  bi-­‐parJsan  support,  passing  69  –  27.    Gives  federal  permission  for  states  to  require  collecJon  of  sales  tax  by  remote  vendors.      

MFA: What Does It Do?

Can affect companies that do interstate retail transactions or “remote sales” Puts a $ threshold on remote sellers Uses Destination-based sourcing for transactions Requires states to simplify filing

MFA: What’s Next? The bill moves to the U.S. House of Representatives.

–  A vote could be as early as June or as late as October. If passed by the House, it is expected to be signed into Law by the President. Could go into effect within 180 days of enactment Law could be challenged which could delay enactment
