The first three sessions of the Sales and Use Tax for Wisconsin Manufacturers 4-part Web Forum Series have received raving reviews. And it’s not too late to join in! Participate in the remaining live session for $299 – and you’ll also receive access to the recorded webinars along with the materials from the information-packed sessions.

Here’s what some of the participants had to say when asked to relay a key benefit….

“Too much to list – very good!”
“We gained a better understanding of some things and look forward to future sessions”
“You can ask real-time questions, and get answers”
“The materials are detailed and contain examples – these are always very useful down the road when referring back to materials”

It’s easy to get lost in ever-changing sales and use tax laws. Each transaction your company makes could have potential sales and use tax implications.

Guidance from the State can be generic and often times it’s difficult to determine applicability to your organization. Recognizing the need for concise, industry-specific information surrounding sales and use taxes, Wipfli’s team of Manufacturing and Distribution tax experts created Sales and Use Tax for Wisconsin Manufacturers, a four-part web forum series.

Who should attend?

This web forum is designed for controllers, accounts payable personnel, accounting staff, or others involved in sales and use taxes.

As a participant, you’ll receive…

In-depth, thorough information specific to manufacturing
Insights to help you spend the least amount of time to generate the most accurate sales reporting information
Real-life manufacturing examples
Specific ideas on managing audit risk areas
Q&A session-submit questions prior to and throughout the web forum series at stateandlocaltax@wipfli.com

Make-up air units
Cooling towers
Forklifts/overhead cranes
Dust collectors

Session 3 - RECORDED VERSION

Consumables: What Qualifies for Exemption?

This session discussed items that are consumed in the process or related to the manufacturing equipment. We also discussed how the “destined for sale” provision impacts the exemption for manufacturers who install their product.

Utilities and Use of Estimates
June 12, 2012; 9:00 AM to 10:30 AM (CST)

Add to Outlook

This session will discuss the taxation of various utilities including natural gas, electricity, propane, fuel oil, and diesel. We’ll also cover how utility exemption percentages should be documented and whether a percentage can be used instead of a review of each specific purchase.
