Sales Tax services cover working out where your business is obliged to collect tax, registering in those states, and filing and remitting returns on each state's schedule.
Sales tax is administered by individual states rather than federally, so rates, rules and filing frequencies differ everywhere you sell.
You collect it from your customers and hold it on the state's behalf — it is never your money, which is why states pursue unremitted sales tax vigorously.
Your obligation is driven by nexus: a connection to a state created by physical presence, or by exceeding that state's sales or transaction thresholds.
From working out where you owe, through to filing every period:
Nexus Review: Assessing where your activity, inventory and sales volume have created an obligation — including states you may not realise you have triggered.
Registration: Obtaining sales tax permits in each state where you are required to collect, in the correct sequence.
Taxability Guidance: Establishing which of your products or services are taxable, exempt, or taxed at a special rate in each jurisdiction.
Return Preparation and Filing: Preparing and submitting returns on each state's monthly, quarterly or annual cycle, including zero-activity returns where required.
Exemption Certificates and Audit Support: Keeping resale and exemption documentation in order, and responding if a state opens an enquiry.
Online Selling Changed the Rules: Economic nexus means you can owe sales tax in a state you have never set foot in, purely on the basis of sales volume.
Uncollected Tax Comes Out of Your Margin: If you should have charged tax and did not, the state still wants it — and your customers are long gone.
Filing Calendars Multiply: Several states, each with its own frequency and due date, becomes difficult to track manually very quickly.
Exposure Grows Quietly: Nexus is often crossed without anyone noticing, and the liability accrues from that point rather than from when you discover it.
Getting compliant and staying that way:
We look at where you sell, store inventory and operate, and identify every state where you have an obligation.
We obtain your permits and help set your systems to collect the correct rate on the correct products.
We prepare and submit each return on time and tell you what to remit, so no state deadline is missed.
Common questions about multi-state sales tax obligations.
Nexus is the connection between your business and a state that obliges you to collect its sales tax. It can be physical — an office, staff, or stock held in a warehouse — or economic, meaning you have passed that state's threshold for sales revenue or transaction count within a period.
Because economic nexus rules let states require collection from sellers with no physical presence, based purely on sales into that state. Thresholds differ between states, so a growing online business can acquire obligations in several places within a single year without any change to how it operates.
Often, yes — marketplace facilitator rules make many platforms responsible for collecting on the sales they process. That does not necessarily end your obligations, particularly if you also sell through your own website or other channels. The two need to be looked at together.
Each state assigns a frequency — monthly, quarterly or annually — usually based on your volume there, and it can be reassigned as you grow. Many states also require a return for periods in which you made no sales, so silence is not an option once registered.
This is common and it is fixable. Many states offer voluntary disclosure arrangements that limit how far back they will look and reduce or waive penalties for businesses that come forward before being contacted. The advantage disappears once the state approaches you, so earlier is materially better.
It varies considerably by state. Some tax a broad range of services, others very few, and digital products and software subscriptions are treated inconsistently across the country. We confirm the treatment of what you actually sell in each state where you are registered.
