Sales & Use


 Are you one of those who own a business but are troubled about owing the state a ton of money in uncollected sales tax? You might be wanting to start preparing now so that you can avoid getting blindsided by an audit!


Since the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair Ruling, consumer behavior saw dramatic changes substantially due to the recent COVID-19 pandemic. E-commerce exploded in the meanwhile, calling forth more businesses with multi-state sales activities and a more significant and more complex set of sales and use tax needs. While the Wayfair Ruling was indeed a big deal for businesses before the pandemic, however, it’s an even bigger deal in current binding circumstances. 


It’s essential to be aware that clients also can’t ignore sales and use tax anymore! 

Those clients who are way too easy or non-compliant with the growing nexus of sales and use tax regulations at the state and local levels are prone to facing catastrophic risks to their business. Conceivably, it’s worse if somebody is absolute about the risk they are getting into and cannot recognize the implications of their exposure to certain risks. 

Whether the client or the business owner, it’s high time for both small and large businesses to identify the potential risks and start acting now. Accounting firms can consolidate their role as trusted advisors by proactively protecting their clients from the mounting threats of sales and using tax non-compliance.

Starting may seem complicated, but the step-by-step organization of actions can help. The foremost of actions to be taken should be identifying clients who appear to be at greater risk.

●    Construction and Real Estate

●    Digital Goods and E-Commerce

●    Manufacturing

●    Retail

Each business must address potential exposures regarding sales and use tax regulations to its clients. 

A well-aware client must be acquainted with the costs and risks involved in non-compliance, the benefits of complying, and understand that the threat of audit is real.

Handling sales and use tax compliance complexity is not that easy, but the right technology can always help. By leveraging technology developed by a trusted partner, it’s easy for your firm to automate various manual tasks analogous with tracking regulatory modifications at the state and local levels and comprehend the changes being applied to the client’s business.
