Want More Information On Sales Tax?

Wonder why there have been so many changes to sale tax laws in the last year and a half?

Well on June 21, 2018, the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in favor of the state in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. (an e-commerce site).

Now states can charge tax on purchases made from out of state sellers. Even if the seller does not have an actual brick and mortar in that particular state.

Since this hearing, most states have redefined their rules on what establishes a sales and use tax obligation, known as nexus.

State Sales Tax Laws

Over 25 states have changed their requirements. Things like; how much or how often you sell to certain areas can affect how much sales tax your business needs to pay.

Unfortunately for businesses, no two-state sales tax nexus laws are alike.

If you are selling products and shipping to other states double check that you are charging and paying the correct amount of sales tax!
