Kilpatrick’s David Hughes and Kylan Memminger recently led a session at the firm's Retail & Consumer Goods Summit. The presentation, “State Sales Tax in 2024: What Every Retailer Needs to Know,” highlighted current sales tax issues and topics impacting retailers and consumer goods manufacturers and suppliers in the marketplace. The session provided an overview of multistate sales tax considerations and issues in the retailer space, ranging from exempt sales and selling on a marketplace to qui tam and class action lawsuits. The discussion also covered additional taxes to be aware of, including locally imposed taxes and fees specific to retailers.
