Unpacking communications tax compliance

The rise of streaming services, IoT devices, and cloud computing has introduced a new set of communications services. And as a result, more states and local jurisdictions are collecting communications taxes on these technologies and enacting laws to keep up with the rapid pace of innovation. With communications tax, it can be challenging for companies to remain compliant and there is a perfect climate for the possibility of costly tax audits. But there are ways to protect your business from these risks.
