Sales Tax Compliance
Nationwide sales tax laws are undeniably complex. Today, most businesses are remitting sales tax to various states and localities, whose rules frequently change. Without adequate warning or guidance on how to comply, taxpayers are left confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed by unknown consequences. If you combine this with the staggered, state-by-state filing deadlines, then your tax department is likely facing recurring, monthly strains.
At PMBA, our multi-state sales tax experts are well-versed in the most recent state and local tax (SALT) rules. With our industry knowledge and expertise, we help our clients stay informed and compliant so that they can focus on their core business priorities.
Sales Tax Compliance Challenges
Typical sales tax compliance burdens include:
- An increasing number of sales tax filing requirements with various due dates
- Difficulty managing the ever-changing state and local tax laws
- Missed filing deadlines and incurring penalties
- Third-party software that doesn’t update with new tax rates or forms
- Entering new markets with uncertainty about new filing requirements
Managing these conditions takes more than internal people-power. It also requires expertise that can prevent lengthy audits or drawn-out assessments that reduce efficiency and lower profits.
