States are targeting streaming tax revenue. Is your business prepared?
Streaming is taking over traditional TV — now commanding 49% of all U.S. TV viewing. As taxing authorities move to reclaim lost revenue from broadcast and cable services, your business may face new communications tax obligations. Join us December 8 for a comprehensive look at the evolving landscape.
CPE CREDIT: Available for live attendance
What we’ll cover:

- A live map of the shifting landscape — court rulings, expanding state rules, and what’s next
- Why your current tax engine may be missing streaming obligations: bundling, ad-supported tiers, and specialized returns
- A three-step framework to assess and close your communications tax exposure
- Real examples of how leading streaming platforms are responding — and what it means for yours
