Description

This presentation discusses how the Texas sales tax rules apply to the high-tech industry. We’ll address the prominent issues in software: writing code, modifying existing software, licensing to multi-state users, live and remote technical support, and troubleshooting. We’ll cover the Comptroller’s ability to tax out-of-state sellers including a discussion of South Dakota v. Wayfair and the status of Teas rules and laws (proposed, passed, or adopted) to implement the Wayfair decision. We’ll also review the taxability of numerous IT services, Internet advertising, website creation and maintenance, cloud computing, and other tax-sensitive areas.
