We invite you to join us for the Modernizing of Sales & Use Tax

Summary
CPE covering new software and digital goods taxability rules, the accelerating expansion of tax onto services, and the shifting landscape of sales tax exemptions for data center investment.

Learning Objectives
1. Determine the current taxability of software, SaaS, and digital goods across key states actively rewriting their rules including a major 2027 statutory reversal, a landmark appellate court ruling on streaming content, a sweeping 2025 services-tax expansion, and the nation's first excise tax on digital content tied to online age-verification.
2. Identify which services have newly become taxable under the 2024–2026 wave of state legislation and distinguish states with enacted law from high-profile proposals that failed or stalled
3. Explain how state and local sales/use tax exemptions for data centers are structured, including capital investment and job-creation thresholds, claw-back provisions, and county Industrial Development Agency (IDA) / PILOT frameworks as well as the emerging multistate trend toward incentive rollback that clients evaluating a data center site need to understand now.
