The local Medical Device Excise Tax team from Ernst and Young will be hosting a presentation to discuss the newly effective federal medical device excise tax.
The presentation will focus on recent Internal Revenue Service guidance relating to the tax, including the final regulations issued in December 2012 and Notice 2012-77.
In addition, we will discuss our experiences with the tax, open issues that the IRS still has yet to address, and trends that are emerging in the market with respect to the new tax.
Furthermore, we will discuss the compliance considerations as the first quarterly excise tax return will be due in April 2013. The presentation will provide useful information for medical device companies, organizations that purchase or sell to medical device companies, and healthcare providers.
