Dear Cloud Communications Members:
The Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA) is committed to adding as much value to your membership as possible.? In the past, we have had vendor, legal and other types of presentations at our meetings.? While we plan to continue to do so, we are also going to try to offer you such value without requiring you to travel.? And we hope that we can save you the typical $600 an hour such professionals charge when they share their knowledge.
So we are excited to announce our first CCA Educational Webinar.
VOIP TAXES AND REGULATORY FEES EDUCATIONAL WEBINAR:
The Cloud Communications Alliance (?CCA?) has assembled a panel of experts to explain the ?nuts & bolts? about the complex and widespread universe of federal, state and local laws, regulations and policies affecting providers of Cloud Communications / Hosted VoIP services and related products.
Our experts will explain ?nexus? and the variety of factors states can use to establish nexus.? Throughout the webinar, attendees will be reminded of critical differences between ?taxes? and ?regulatory fees? and the need to understand that the rules applicable to each of these disciplines are unique; failure to account for the distinctions can lead to inaccurate and potentially costly results. Attendees will also learn about the consequences of non-compliance and the variety of mitigation and remediation options that are available with respect to taxes, regulatory fees and E-911 fees.
The presenters will discuss some of the challenging decisions providers operating in the complicated, uncertain and evolving environment must make and will answer questions submitted prior to or during the Webinar.
If you are attending this unique educational event and have questions you would like to submit to our panel of experts in advance, please E-mail your questions to Jonathan Marashlian at email hidden; JavaScript is required.
