Tax Update for Exporters in the USA

Tax Update for Exporters in the USA

In the United States, there is no uniform federal sales tax. Instead, individual states impose what are known as Sales and Use Taxes, the rates of which vary significantly between states. The Sales Tax not only affects the sale of tangible goods but can also be relevant when providing services. The U.S. tax system, as a whole, is highly complex and presents many challenges for businesses. Gain a current overview of the U.S. tax system for the export of goods and services and learn, in a practical context, what risks exist and how they can be managed. Individual questions can be discussed.
