Gigs and Taxes

Overview

The nature of this new "gigs" and "sharing" economy presents many challenges to taxation authorities and tax professionals in our efforts to track and report an individual's income and expenses related to the products or services that are now delivered sometimes in-person and sometimes electronically. In this course, we will review some of the typical products and services offered within the gigs and sharing economy, with emphasis on shared-car services and shared rental services.
