Understanding the taxability of your company’s products or services is one of the key steps to complying with sales and use tax laws. In many situations, your “products” can be easy to classify: They’re usually tangible (in fact, a key sales tax definition is “tangible personal property”) and you charge sales tax on property unless it falls into an exemption category.

Back in 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act was signed into law which instituted a cap on the amount of state and local taxes (SALT) that individuals could report as Itemized Deductions on Schedule A. Starting with the 2018 tax year, the maximum SALT deduction available was $10,000. Previously, there was no limit. Since then, roughly 20 states have come up with workarounds intended to negate, or at least mitigate the effect of the SALT limitation.
