With our ever-changing economy, states have wanted to capture as much revenue as possible – the switch from three factors to double weighted/single sales factor and expansion of market sourcing has created many challenges in our diverse digital/app driven and door step delivery retail and gig economies. This session will discuss the evolution of the sales factor market sourcing concepts. The speakers will also cover some of the new cases arising in this area to ensure practitioners understand how to use these decisions to proactively apply them as state tax apportionment mitigation strategies.

Join Moderator Judy Vorndran as she hosts a panel of state and local tax specialists in deconstructing market sourcing.
