FEDERAL EXCISE TAX WEBINAR SERIES

The NTDA will offer a series of free Webinars focused on different aspects of the Federal Excise Tax (FET) throughout 2013. While the FET can be quite broad in scope, the purpose of each Webinar is to drill down to specific questions and issues that members have raised via the FET Hotline or during previous Webinars to help you better understand how the tax applies to certain circumstances. NTDA members have unlimited access to the FET Hotline, which is answered by specialists who specifically deal with the FET as it applies to the sale of commercial trucks and semi-trailers at CliftonLarsonAllen LLP. 

Sales to State and Local Municipalities and Non-Profit Educational Facilities
Thursday, May 23, 2013 — 2:00 p.m. CST

If you’re selling or planning to sell to any state and local government or non-profit educational institution these sales can be made Federal Excise Tax-free; however, in order to sell these units tax-free, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) requires specific documentation before a sale is completed to substantiate the tax-free sale. This Webinar will cover the IRS Tax Form 637 Application for Registration for Certain Excise Tax Activities, exemption certificates needed, tire tax credits, and all other need-to-know information for you and your customers to comply with the IRS regulations to avoid any unexpected surprises.

Import and Export Transactions: Moving Trailers Across Borders
Thursday, June 20, 2013 — 2:00 p.m. CST

A sale can be made tax-free to a dealer or end-user outside of the U.S.; however, the proper documentation is required to substantiate the sale. If you are bringing in used units from Canada or Mexico or selling to a Canadian company that operates in the U.S. and Canada, this Webinar is for you. We will take a look at the documentation needed for import/export transactions, purchases of used equipment, sales to exporters, and review several common import/export transactions to ensure you have followed the correct IRS procedures to transact tax-free and to verify the correct FET is collected and remitted upon importation or use.

FET Deductions and Common Mistakes
Thursday, July 18, 2013 — 2:00 p.m. CST

In this Webinar, we will review FET calculations and dig into the proper deductions allowed for destination, optional extended warranties, non-transportation equipment, review the tire tax credit, and look at overall calculations for accuracy.

Basics of FET
Thursday, August 22, 2013 — 2:00 p.m. CST

Do you have new hires, salespeople or employees who are new to the industry? This session will explore regulations from the basics of what qualifies for FET, what is a first retail sale, overview of IRS Form 720 Quarterly Excise Tax Return reporting requirements, and basic tax-free and exempt sales.

Mobile Machinery and Off-Highway Use Exemptions
Thursday, September 19, 2013 — 2:00 p.m. CST

In this Webinar, we will explore the regulations included for tax-exempt sales of mobile machinery equipment and review the requirements of off-highway use units. The logging, mining, farming, construction, and other industries regularly use these exemptions but possibly not correctly. We will explore several Private Letter Rulings, tax payer advice memorandums, and other statutory documents that pertain to these two tax-exempt sales.
