Tax Seminars
Fall 2008

Your opportunity to learn about business taxes.

Schedule

The Nebraska Department of Revenue is here to help you. Our semi-annual educational seminars are designed to help people understand how sales and use tax works, and how it applies to their businesses. Best of all, they are presented in a plain-and-simple, down-to-earth manner. In addition, we have invited other states' departments of revenue to join us to give you information about the sales and use tax rules and regulations in those states. Joining us are:

	In Sioux City, the Iowa and South Dakota Departments of Revenue; and
	In Omaha, the Iowa Department of Revenue.
