Benefits for Attendees

Continuing legislative and regulatory developments in the Arkansas sales and use taxes make it imperative that business and professional advisors be aware of the liabilities for sales and use taxes.  This seminar teaches basic concepts, as well as technical substance for Arkansas businesses.  Taxes are the one variable in business that can be the most detrimental to the profit of the business.  When taxes are held to a minimum, a business will see the profit of the company increase.  Missed opportunities to take advantage of exemptions, correct collection and remittance are only a few of the errors businesses make on a daily basis.  These errors can be corrected through educational seminars such as this.  Since both purchasers and sellers are liable for the tax, almost all businesses will be affected.

Who Should Attend

This seminar is designed for accountants, controllers, accounts payable managers and clerks, tax managers, purchasing managers and any tax professional seeking to know more about Arkansas sales and use taxes.
