Tue 26 Mar 2024 / 14:00 (GMT), 15:00 (CET)

About the event

Startups have chased the American dream since Google was in the garage — but it’s one of the most complex markets to operate in. Every state has its own set of tax laws and tax nexus, so how can startups navigate the hurdles and hoops? This Sifted Talks will explore how to navigate sales and use tax when scaling operations stateside.

We'll be discussing

  1. Chasing the American dream: Is US expansion still a priority for European investors?
  2. Solidifying your tax strategy: What are the differences between sales and use tax? How can startups manage tax in the US?
  3. Selling into multiple states: How do rules and regulations differ?
  4. Economic nexus: What is it and how is it triggered? What should startups consider?
