The California SaaS Sales Tax Countdown: What to Do Before January 1

Starting January 1, 2027, it is anticipated that California will apply its full state and local sales tax to SaaS and other prewritten software, a first for the state, and a change that touches nearly every software company. For finance and tax teams, the clock is already running: registration, billing updates, and product classification all take lead time.

In this focused 30-minute session, Anrok's tax specialists break down exactly what's changing, who's in scope, and the concrete steps to take before the deadline. Then we'll open Tax Hours, a live, no-slides Q&A where you can bring your specific California questions to our team.
