The keynote speaker will be Russ Brubaker, assistant director of interpretations and technical advice for the Washington Department of Revenue and the new president of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board, an organization representing the 24 states that have passed legislation adopting the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement. Federal legislation authorizing remote collection authority for Streamlined states and non-member states that meet minimum simplification requirements has been introduced in the form of the Marketplace Fairness Act and the Marketplace Equity Act. These bills have garnered the support of many major U.S. retailers, both online and those with a physical location. Mr. Brubaker will discuss developments around the federal bills and provide some insight on the state of Washington’s economic nexus rules.
The Graduate Program in Taxation will host 2-3 tables, depending on interest. We will post more information about this closer to the date.
