Doing business with USA member states
in Business, Accounting & Taxes ·
Hey everyone,
So, I’m currently working on the sales tax filings for a company that does most of its business overseas—mainly over in Germany.... And I just found out today that I actually need to be filing a summary report (which, honestly, I don't know much about yet)...
The bulk of what we're talking about are training courses that an American firm conducted over in Germany, so everything is tax-exempt. Looking back at previous filings, it looks like the bases were all recorded under Section I/4—Services provided within the USA.... So, how does this whole summary report thing work, and when am I supposed to be filling it out?
Also.... Since there's a lot of different stuff lumped together on a single invoice (like the actual training, organization costs, mileage for a personal vehicle, lodging, etc.) and it’s all bundled into one bill without any sales tax applied, is there any chance some of those specific items are EXEMPT from being included in the sales tax return base?
Thanks!🎉
