The outcome of the 2018 Supreme Court ruling Wayfair v. South Dakota forever changed the landscape on how businesses must collect and remit sales tax. Instead of the “physical presence” standard determining when sales tax is due, companies can create nexus by simply delivering products or providing remote services into a state (i.e., economic nexus).


For e-Commerce businesses, these changes have significantly impacted sales tax requirements, making compliance challenging and time-consuming to manage.



As a business owner or financial leader, safeguarding your company from non-compliance has never been more crucial.


During this discussion, Chris will share strategies to mitigate your sales tax compliance obligations and how to uncover tax-saving opportunities.


What you’ll learn:

Sales tax nexus basics
How the sales tax landscape has changed significantly over the past three years and why it matters to E-Commerce companies
How to benchmark your current sales tax compliance practices
Next steps to make your compliance efforts more efficient (incl. sales tax automation tools)
