Course Description

The business world encountered a myriad of sales and use tax changes throughout 2020 in response to COVID-19. Despite these changes, one thing remains the same: the expectation, on the part of state and local jurisdictions, that businesses will stay on top of—and compliant with—relevant changes to sales and use tax regulations.

This was no easy task in 2020. As more consumers turned to online shopping, many businesses realigned their focus to eCommerce, triggering new tax obligations. In addition, state and local governments throughout the U.S. cracked down on remote seller tax compliance, increased tax rates, and introduced new taxes on digital advertising and remote employees—all in an effort to offset budget deficits. With 2021 now beginning, businesses must prepare for potentially more sales tax changes in the new year.

Join Avalara’s Vice President of U.S. Tax Policy and Government Relations, Scott Peterson, for this upcoming webinar to make sure you’re up-to-speed on recent sales and use tax changes and ready for those to come this year.

Learning Objectives: 


  • Summarize the impact of COVID-19 in 2020 and its influence on 2021

  • Determine why understanding economic nexus and its triggers are more important now than ever

  • Identify new tax obligations resulting from increased marketplace sales

  • Define the international market and changes to cross-border eCommerce compliance
