Sales tax has never been more complicated with thousands of rate, rule, and boundary changes every year. Unfortunately, this trend will only continue to get worse as cash-strapped states rely heavily on sales tax audits as a way to make up for their revenue shortfalls. States continue to hire more auditors to enforce the constantly changing sales tax guidelines which make it nearly impossible for their business to help every day businesses eliminate the risk and burden of sales tax compiance through automation. Now you can expect to come out of an audit unscathed and without penalty by way of sales tax compliance automation.
Luckily, 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 a future audit.
Here is a sneak peek of a few of the topics Avalara will cover:
- Determine if you’ve created nexus in any new jurisdictions in the past year.
- Nexus laws vary from state to state and can change from one month to the next.
- Make sure you understand taxability of new products you offer.
- Not only can taxability differ from one product to the next, but it can also differ state to state.
- Verify jurisdictions based on exact location, not zip code.
- It is not unusual to have multiple jurisdictions (and therefore multiple rates) for a given zip code.
