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 it’s difficult to determine applicability to your organization. Recognizing the need for thorough, industry-specific information about 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.
