Sales Tax Compliance

Sales tax compliance is the process of filing and paying sales taxes according to federal and state laws.

What Is Sales Tax Compliance?

In ecommerce retail, sales tax compliance is essential to stay afloat. Brands and retailers must first apply to register as a sales-tax-collecting business. Then, they must collect sales tax from each customer transaction and file and pay their sales taxes according to federal and state regulations. While federal laws apply to all tax-filing organizations, each state requires a different sales tax amount. In some cases, sales taxes vary by county or by product, requiring brands and retailers to fully understand their business requirements to stay compliant. Sales tax compliance also requires businesses to remit sales taxes in a timely manner, which is often either quarterly or annually, depending on the industry and state regulations.
