Sales tax obligations,
handled properly
Multi-state and international sales tax is one of the most misunderstood areas of e-commerce compliance. We assess where your obligations actually sit, take care of registrations, and handle the filings on an ongoing basis.
Know exactly where you have sales tax obligations — and have them covered
For an e-commerce business shipping to customers in multiple states, sales tax isn't straightforward. Nexus rules — the thresholds that determine where you're required to collect and remit — vary by state and change as your revenue grows.
This service gives you a clear assessment of where your obligations sit right now, handles any registrations needed, and takes care of the periodic filing that keeps you compliant on an ongoing basis.
Nexus exposure identified
A clear picture of which states or countries you have current collection obligations in — based on your actual sales data.
Registrations handled
Where registration is required, we handle the process — you don't need to navigate state tax authority portals yourself.
Periodic returns filed
Filing schedules vary by jurisdiction. We track them and file on time — monthly, quarterly, or annually depending on the requirement.
Sales tax nexus is one area where growing quietly creates real exposure
Most e-commerce businesses cross nexus thresholds without realizing it. You start selling in a new state, volume picks up, and at some point — sometimes months or years later — you discover you should have been collecting and remitting tax there.
By the time that's identified, you're looking at back taxes, potential penalties, and the administrative work of getting compliant retroactively. None of it is insurmountable, but it's significantly easier to handle prospectively than retrospectively.
Threshold variation by state
Some states trigger nexus at $100,000 in sales, others at 200 transactions. The rules differ, and they're not always intuitive.
Changing legislation
State tax rules shift. A threshold that didn't apply to you last year may apply now, and monitoring that across dozens of states takes ongoing attention.
Filing frequency complexity
Once registered, each jurisdiction has its own return schedule. Missing a filing deadline — even for a small amount — can create disproportionate administrative headaches.
A structured compliance process built around your actual sales footprint
We start by reviewing your sales data to determine where nexus thresholds have been crossed or are close to being crossed. That assessment becomes the basis for a compliance plan — what needs to happen now, what needs monitoring going forward.
From there, we handle registrations in applicable jurisdictions and set up the filing schedule. Returns are filed on time, and we track changes in nexus rules so your obligations are monitored even as your sales volume shifts across markets.
Nexus assessment
We review your sales data by state and jurisdiction to map out current and near-threshold collection obligations.
State registration
We register your business in the applicable states — handling the paperwork and communication with tax authorities on your behalf.
Periodic return filing
We file your returns across all registered jurisdictions on the schedules those states require — monthly, quarterly, or annually.
Ongoing nexus monitoring
As your sales grow and regulations shift, we track whether new obligations arise and flag them before they become compliance gaps.
What the process looks like from your end
The initial engagement involves more back-and-forth than the ongoing phase — once the assessment is done and registrations are in place, it becomes a largely hands-off arrangement for you.
Sales data review
We request access to your sales records by state. This can come from your marketplace reports or accounting software.
Assessment delivered
You receive a clear document outlining where you have current obligations and where you're approaching thresholds to watch.
Registrations completed
We handle the registration process in applicable states. You'll be notified when each one is confirmed and active.
Filings on autopilot
Returns are filed on schedule. You'll know when filings go out, and we alert you if anything in your nexus picture changes.
Straightforward pricing for a defined scope of work
Sales Tax Nexus & Compliance is priced as a project engagement covering the assessment, registration, and initial filing cycle — with an ongoing arrangement for continued monitoring and periodic returns.
Project-based engagement. Ongoing filing support discussed based on your jurisdiction count.
Who this is designed for
This service is particularly relevant for businesses that have grown their sales footprint across states over the past year or two and haven't had formal compliance support in place. It's also a good fit for sellers who've recently expanded into new channels and aren't certain of their current exposure.
The $2,500 price point covers the initial assessment and setup work, which is the more labor-intensive part of the engagement. Ongoing filing support is structured separately based on the number of active jurisdictions.
Good fit for sellers who:
How we measure accuracy and keep compliance current
Compliance work is measurable in terms of on-time filing rates, jurisdictions covered relative to actual exposure, and absence of notices from tax authorities. We track all of these.
The assessment phase produces a written document you can reference independently. It shows the methodology used, thresholds reviewed, and conclusions reached — not just a list of states with a recommendation attached.
Written nexus assessment
You receive a documented assessment, not just a verbal rundown. It's a reference document you keep for your records.
Legislative change alerts
When states update nexus thresholds or introduce new rules, we review how that affects your situation and notify you of any action needed.
Timeline expectations
Assessment is typically completed within two weeks of receiving your sales data. State registrations follow, with timelines varying by state — usually two to four weeks.
What we stand behind
Compliance work requires care and accuracy. We're committed to delivering an assessment that reflects your actual situation — not a generic checklist — and to maintaining filing accuracy on an ongoing basis.
Documented methodology
The assessment explains the reasoning behind each conclusion. You're not receiving a black-box output with a list of states attached.
Filing accuracy priority
Returns are reviewed before submission. We don't file and forget — accuracy on each return matters to us as much as getting it in on time.
Introductory conversation first
We talk through your current situation before starting work. If your circumstances are better addressed a different way, we'll tell you.
Proactive communication
If we see something in your sales data that suggests a new obligation is forming, we bring it to you — we don't wait until it's already a problem.
How to get started
The process starts with a short conversation about your current sales footprint and what you know — or suspect — about your existing compliance situation. No specialist knowledge required on your end.
