Manufacturers face one of the most complex indirect tax environments in the country—layered exemptions, shifting state rules, aggressive audit enforcement, and growing expectations for accuracy and speed. Many still rely on spreadsheets, siloed systems, and outdated assumptions that leave them exposed to penalties and inefficiencies.

In this session, experts from Vertex and Tronconi Segarra & Associates will share real-world insights from manufacturers navigating compliance challenges across multiple states. Through practical examples and client stories, they’ll unpack how automation, centralized data, and emerging AI trends are transforming tax management—from exemption tracking and use tax verification to audit defense and strategic reporting.

Whether you work in-house at a manufacturing company or advise manufacturing clients, you’ll gain actionable strategies to modernize compliance processes, strengthen audit readiness, and build a smarter tax function for the future.
