Tax issues for high tech—no doubt this will continue to be a hot area for many years to come. Changes in how we live and do business challenge existing tax rules.
This a key focus for this blog and my research.
I recently delivered a one hour webinar for Accounting Fly for college accounting majors and recent alums on this topic entitled, “Understanding Tax Issues Facing the High Tech Community.” It is not intended to be a deep dive into complex issues, but an awareness of “high tech,” some of the key rules and issues that exist, and why. It includes a bit about the new economy.
