Sales and use tax compliance is a challenge for many businesses because they must navigate thousands of state and local sales and use tax jurisdictions. Whether determining nexus, reporting obligations or the correct tax rate, sales and use tax compliance seems unending and unmanageable. Without an experienced multistate tax staff, businesses may be under- or over reporting sales and use tax, creating compliance risks and competitive disadvantages.
As consumer preferences shift to more online purchases and states scramble to update sales tax laws to better address a changing economy, sales and use tax compliance within a digital footprint and across multiple states is more complex than ever. Landmark court cases are also changing the tax landscape. Even after three years, many middle market businesses have yet to comply with the 2018 South Dakota v Wayfair decision, which permitted the states to impose sales and use tax registration, collection and remittance obligations on remote businesses with a certain sales or revenue threshold in a state.
