Upcoming: California and Colorado are taxing SaaS on January 1. Here's what's changed.

Starting January 1, 2027, California and Colorado will both apply sales tax to SaaS and other prewritten software. It's a first for both states, 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 in each state, 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 questions to our team.

What you'll learn

  • What California's SB 122 and Colorado's HB 26-1223 cover, and what stays exempt in each state
  • Whether your business is in scope, including the thresholds that trigger registration
  • How to get registered, billing-ready, and system-ready before January 1
  • Where the gray areas are: bundling, custom versus prewritten, contract timing, California sourcing, and Colorado's home-rule cities

Plus live Tax Hours

Stay on for 15 to 30 minutes of live Q&A. Bring your toughest California and Colorado sales tax questions and leave with answers.

Who should attend: CFOs, controllers, heads of finance, and tax leads at software companies based in or selling into California and Colorado.
