Sales and Use Tax for Retailers

This course covers how Minnesota Sales and Use Tax laws apply to retailers located in Minnesota. It also explains how sales tax applies to retail sales of goods made to customers in Minnesota, whether the business is located within Minnesota or out-of-state.  The primary focus is to give participants a better understanding of what items a retailer may buy exempt from sales tax and what items are taxable.

Some of the content covered in this webinar is covered in the “How Sales and Use Tax Applies to Business Activities” section of our Basic Sales and Use Tax Course but we provide additional content and detail in this webinar based on participants’ feedback. 

Note: The course is available as a webinar only. We also offer an Introduction to Sales and Use Tax Course that complements this training and covers general information that applies to all businesses.
