Written by Kathy Graham | Thu, Feb 21, 2013

As ERP consultants and ERP customers, you may have noticed there are thousands of sales tax rate, rule, and boundary changes every year.  Join us in this complimentary webcast on Thursday, February 21, 2013 at 1PM Eastern time.  Registration details below.  Don't be a victim of a hungry government that is looking to you for revenue.  Sales tax has never been more complicated and the burden should not fall on you alone to keep up with the complexity.  Unfortunately, this trend will only continue to get worse, as cash-strapped states rely heavily on sales tax audits and the penalties they collect as a way to make up for their revenue shortfalls.  States are hiring more and more auditors to enforce the constantly changing sales tax guidelines.  Without sales tax compliance automation it makes it nearly impossible for a business to come out of an audit unscathed.

One leading solution for businesses who struggle to keep up with the sales tax complexity is Avalara.  Avalara is a sales tax software or also known as a sales tax complaice solution for ERP customers.  Avalara has compiled a list of the top 12 things that every business should know when it comes to sales tax compliance, along with tips to help combat the complexity and risk of penalty.

Here is a preview of 6 of the 12 topics we will cover regarding sales tax compliance:

  1. Determine if you’ve created nexus in any new jurisdictions in the past year.   
  2. Nexus laws vary from state to state and can change from one month to the next.   
  3. Make sure you understand taxability of new products you offer. 
  4. Not only can taxability differ from one product to the next, but it can also differ state to state. 
  5. Verify jurisdictions based on exact location, not zip code. 
  6. It is not unusual to have multiple jurisdictions (and therefore multiple rates) for a given zip code. 

Join Avalara for this free informational webinar to learn about 12 sales tax survival tips that can help your business today.
