Out-of-state no longer means out of reach for sales tax compliance
A U.S. Supreme Court decision this summer opened the door for states to collect sales tax from online, phone order and inbound sellers even if they have no in-state physical presence. The decision has prompted many states to now consider or pass laws to take advantage of this new source of revenue.
While the details differ by state, most are putting the burden on remote sellers to collect all applicable taxes, including local taxes, and it’s within reason to assume all sales will count towards whatever thresholds states create.
Time Is Running Out
Many states set either Oct. 1, 2018, or Jan. 1, 2019, as the date for businesses to be in compliance with their new sales tax laws, so the clock is ticking to ensure your business is ready.
