Are your systems ready to deal with the changes in the sales tax landscape?
The Supreme Court ruling on 6/21/2018 in South Dakota vs. Wayfair, states that states can require online retailers to collect sales tax. The previous ruling in Quill Corp. v. North Dakota was overturned – physical presence is no longer required for states to demand that sales tax be collected and remitted.
You’ll want to be in contact with your accounting professionals on which states you may need to start collecting tax in and when.
Have you considered an online tax solution?
This also might be the time to prioritize implementing one of the online tax solutions that can calculate sales tax based on addresses and have reporting functions also. Ideally, they should be integrated with your Sage software solution. The sophistication and dependability of online solutions have expanded over that years. We recommend Avalara's tax solution.
