Below is a sneak peek on a few of the sales tax tips that will be covered:

• Determine if you’ve created nexus in any new jurisdictions in the past year. 

Nexus laws vary from state to state and can change from one month to the next. 

• Make sure you understand taxability of new products you offer.

Not only can taxability differ from one product to the next, but it can also differ state to state.

• Verify jurisdictions based on exact location, not ZIP code.

It is not unusual to have multiple jurisdictions (and therefore multiple rates) for a given ZIP code.
