    Hello -


    New to the construction industry, so I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction for some resources I could use to educate myself on Sales & Use Tax education for Contruction for GC's and Subcontractors.


    Any help/insight would be appreciated.  Thank you!

    The CFMA Sales Tax guide is great & you can buy only the States you need (e.g. AZ only). You can get it here:https://cfma.org/statetaxlaws

    I have received several emails regarding SALT Explorer as a complementary service with membership. I signed up about a month ago and received a welcome email yesterday; however, I have not received any information on logging in. I attempted to use my email address to recover a password but unfortunately, that did not produce any results. Might be an option to look into as well.

    Hi Nicole,

    Welcome to Arizona construction TPT (sales tax).  It is one of the most confusing set of nonsense rules that exist in the United States.  The Arizona Department of Revenue does try to explain it on their website.  I suggest you go to the ADOR web site, type in Constructions Sales tax or Construction TPT and read that.  Hopefully that will help..
