Summary

The Tennessee Department of Revenue released a new Tennessee automotive dealership tax manual and related online tools, and hosted a webinar guiding dealers through sales-tax, business-tax, exemption and compliance issues and where to find PDFs, calculators and help lines.

The Tennessee Department of Revenue on its webinar for automobile dealers introduced a new Tennessee automotive dealership tax manual and accompanying online resources intended to help dealers avoid audits and comply with state tax rules. Katie, a presenter from the department's taxpayer services team, told attendees the manual includes examples and guidance on sales and business tax, title and registration issues, and dedicated webinars for topics such as single-article tax and nexus for out-of-state sellers.

The webinar placed resources in the chat and on the department website (tn.gov/revenue) and emphasized practical tools: a downloadable PDF of the manual, a repossession-credit Excel worksheet, and links to local-rate lookups. Billy Trout, of the taxpayer education section, said the department will post a recording “either later today or tomorrow” and urged dealers to review the manual and adjust records to bring returns into compliance to reduce the risk of a full field audit.
