As a manufacturer or distributor, you’re faced with a long and expanding list of sales and use tax challenges (and probably some you’re not even aware of). Whether it’s who you’re selling to (direct to consumer or resellers), who you’re shipping to, or nexus issues, following a stringent process for sales and use tax compliance is critical. Specific to use tax, manufacturers have considerations around machinery and equipment, research & development, inter-plant transfers and inventory withdrawals. And though exemptions are a manufacturer’s friend; understanding how to qualify to claim exemptions and getting the right exemption certificate in your suppliers’ hands can be tricky if you don’t know the current rules.
