On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that internet retailers can be required to collect online sales tax, even in states where they have no physical presence. The landmark decision, South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc., reverses a 1992 ruling and could result in a greater revenue source for state and local governments. As explained in this free Avenu webinar held right after the ruling, there are still uncertainties surrounding the potential effects, but change is likely on the way.

In this exclusive session led by auditors from El Paso, Texas and Avenu, you’ll discover critical concepts to unlocking your government’s full revenue potential:
Avenu Insights & Analytics first partnered with Santa Rosa city leaders in 1991 with a successful run of compliance auditing, discovery, and recovery. When it came time to replace the city’s permitting and planning system in 2012, officials chose Avenu’s unique combination of customized technology and service-led solutions. By building off the needs of Santa Rosa’s citizens, city officials, and customer-first culture, Avenu continues to support the community, recovering millions of dollars in new revenue to date.
In 2010, Beaumont’s leaders partnered with Avenu to explore a different kind of resource: untapped revenue. Starting with a simple hotel audit, they discovered hundreds of thousands of dollars in hotel taxes. The partnership — and its associated revenue stream — continue to grow; with Avenu’s resources, insight, and expertise, Beaumont has tapped into millions in additional hotel taxes, sales and use taxes, and more.
