Texas Sales Tax for the High-Tech Industry: This presentation discusses how the Texas sales tax rules apply in

the confusing high tech world. We’ll address the prominent issues

in software: writing code, modifying existing software, licensing

to multi-state users, live and remote technical support, and

troubleshooting. We’ll learn the details of Texas’s new theory

under which Texas seeks to tax out-of-state software sellers who

merely license software to Texas users. We’ll review the taxability

of numerous IT services, internet advertising, website creation

and maintenance, cloud computing and other tax-sensitive areas.
