Sales and Use Taxability of Information Services

CCH Tax Law Editors with Contributing Authors

Sales and Use Taxability of Information Services examines the ways in which states have become more active in their attempts to broaden the tax base to include sales and use taxation of information services.

Information services are sometimes included under the umbrella of telecommunications services, data processing services, or professional services. At other times they are specifically enumerated in statutes as taxable services.

Some states differentiate the tax treatment of these services based on the method of transmission, and other states base their taxation on whether there are associated sales of tangible personal property.

The sales and use taxation of information services in five state-level jurisdictions is examined in this course: the District of Columbia, Florida, North Dakota, Ohio, and Texas.
