Sales tax can be tricky, but it doesn’t have to be boring. In our latest video, we take a fun, pop culture-inspired approach to break down key tips for navigating state sales tax and compliance with confidence. Whether you're new to sales tax or just need a quick refresher, this lighthearted guide will help you stay on track and avoid costly mistakes.
Key Takeaways:
know only what you need to know: If your business doesn’t have nexus (a sufficient presence) in a certain state, you’re generally not required to collect sales and use tax there. But be careful, if you sell through platforms like Amazon, Etsy, or eBay, make sure to review your marketplace agreement to understand who’s responsible for tax collection.
Use sales tax software (smartly): Software can save you time and help you stay compliant—but it's a tool, not a total solution. Use it to keep up with changing tax rates and rules. Just make sure you pick one that fits your budget, support needs, and is easy to use.
Keep those records safe: Hold on to all relevant documents for at least 3–4 years. This includes tax return worksheets, invoices (sales and purchases), and your general ledger. Being organized now will save you stress later—especially in case of an audit.
Don’t be afraid to ask for help: Sales tax is a billion-dollar system with complex rules. No shame in calling in a pro. Working with an expert can save you time, money, and headaches.
That’s your tip of the month! Stay tuned for more fun, relatable content that makes tax compliance a little less taxing. 😉
