TaxConnex, America’s leading independent provider of sales and use tax outsourcing services, invites Telecom and VoIP service providers to meet and hear TaxConnex’s Founding Partner, Robert Dumas, CPA at the ISPAmerica conference. Robert will speak at the Tax Workshop and Presentation, covering topics related to telecom tax for start ups and new entrants.

“We talk with a lot of VoIP providers that are either just entering the market or have been in the market for a fairly limited amount of time”, says Robert. “We spend a good bit of time helping these companies take the right compliance steps to enter the market. We also spend time with companies that need to correct prior period issues. The workshop at ISPAmerica 2012 is designed to help both types of companies, start-ups with a clean slate and new entrants that need some correction. The workshop is an opportunity for these companies to learn about telecom tax issues and leave with a plan for compliance.”

The workshop and presentation takes place at ISPAmerica 2012 on Tuesday, March 27, from 11:30 – 1:00 PM. The presentation is in two parts. Part One, for new VoIP providers covers:

  •      What creates nexus for new VoIP providers;
  •     Understanding taxability of your products and services;
  •     Seeking exemptions with your carriers;
  •     Calculating tax and invoicing your clients;
  •     Registering with the Departments of Revenue; and
  •     Filing your first return.

Part Two, for VoIP providers that are already in the market, covers:

  •     Understanding the taxability of your products and services;
  •     Determining your prior period tax exposure;
  •     Voluntary disclosures or amnesty filings;
  •     Seeking exemptions with your carriers;
  •     Calculating tax and invoicing your clients;
  •     Registering with the Departments of Revenue; and
  •     Filing your first return.

ISP America 2012 is produced by WISPA and FISPA. This year's event is scheduled from March 26th to March 30th at the Disney's Coronado Springs Resort at Walt Disney World®.
