Arrangements
Thank you for your interest.
Here is more information about arranging for us to do a sales and use
tax seminar for you. If you can't find the answer here, or
would like to discuss your event further, please contact
us.
Our seminar fee is $1,900 per day (or part of
day). Each day would include up to six contact
hours of formal presentations, plus discussions during breaks, lunch and
before and after events. We also encourage our customers to call
us with questions at no extra charge.
Our fee for a private
on-site sales and use tax seminar includes customization for the laws of one state
with some minor addition and deletion of other content. If you
need coverage of additional states or additional topics, this may require an additional
charge, depending on your requirements, the number of states involved,
etc. Please contact
us.
This will be a training session to
familiarize and educate your staff about sales and use taxes. It
cannot be a consulting engagement. We will suggest that you
contact a local sales and use tax specialist. See our disclaimer.
We will probably want to arrange for extended
phone interviews with yourself and other members of your organization to
adapt to your specific needs, customs, policies and procedures, systems,
and other issues. This is included in the seminar fee.
Fee discounts may be available
for:
-
An event within 300 driving miles of
Batavia, Illinois
-
An event that can be booked as
part of another trip
-
Payment of the entire fee at

There is no limitation on the number
of people in the sessions. And if you'd like to invite other
organizations to the event, that's OK.
If you wish to video the program,
there's no additional charge. However the video can only be used
within your organization and local facility. This is negotiable - please contact
us.

A deposit of 25% of the fee is
due at time of booking.
-
A deposit of 25% of the fee is
due 2 days before the seminar.
