Sales Tax & Indirect Tax (U.S.)

U.S. sales tax obligations can arise in states where a business has never had a physical office or employees.

We help businesses determine where sales and use tax obligations exist by reviewing physical and economic nexus, sales activity, customer locations, products and services, and the way the business operates. We identify where registration is required, complete the necessary applications and help implement the collection procedures and reporting needed to become compliant. Where applicable, we also advise on gross receipts taxes and other related state and local filing requirements.

Once registrations are in place, we can take over the ongoing sales tax compliance function.

For businesses selling across the United States, the challenge is often not one sales tax obligation but managing requirements in multiple states, each with its own rules, deadlines and procedures. We take that burden off the client by preparing and filing returns, monitoring compliance deadlines and managing recurring obligations across the states where filings are required. We also help establish processes for collecting and reporting tax through accounting systems, e-commerce platforms and other sales channels as sales volumes, nexus and filing obligations change.
