Sales tax compliance can be overwhelming, and it’s even more complicated if you, as the seller, have an economic presence in multiple states because of the number of things to keep track of. This step-by-step sales tax guide is a useful place to start to ensure you stay ahead of your filing requirements. We always try to remind clients that sales tax is a pass-thru fiduciary tax. If you collect it and remit it correctly, there should be no liability to the seller. Where it gets dicey is when the seller doesn’t correctly collect, remit and report in jurisdictions in which it is required to do so.
