State and Local Tax Sales Tax Compliance
Managing sales tax compliance can be challenging due to the complexity of regulations and their constant changes.
At NexusWorks, we offer expert sales tax compliance solutions, allowing our clients to focus on what matters most growing their business.
Why is Sales Tax Compliance Such a Challenge?
Sales tax compliance can be complex and challenging for several reasons:
Constantly Changing Regulations: Sales tax laws are frequently updated at state and local levels, requiring businesses to stay informed on new rules, rates and deadlines.
State-Specific Rules: Each state has different tax rates, exemptions and taxable goods or services, making multi-state compliance particularly complex.
Nexus Determination: Identifying where your business has a "nexus" (a taxable presence) can be tricky, as it depends on factors like physical location, employees, or sales volume in a state.
Filing Requirements: States have varying filing frequencies (monthly, quarterly, or annually), adding complexity for businesses with operations in multiple locations.
