Your company just registered to collect sales tax in a new state. Or maybe you’re a new business that registered in a state for the first time.
What comes next? You know your line of products and services require you to pay sales tax… but how do you make that happen? How do you do sales tax?
The answer is a cyclical process that fills the gap between tax collection and remittance: sales tax compliance.
At its essence, compliance is all about preparing and filing sales and use tax returns. It is your act of complying with state requirements to pay your required tax amount. You must understand the ins and outs of the sales tax compliance process to file your tax returns on a timely basis and stay out of audit trouble.
Join this 90-minute webinar to learn the 7-step process of sales tax return preparation and filing so you can give the state accurate data and the required forms on time, every time. You’ll discover how to manage every stage of the sales tax compliance process even if you’ve never filed a return before.
Who should attend?

Sales tax compliance is an ongoing process. Once you understand the necessary steps to successfully prepare and file your tax returns, you can make tweaks to the process in the ways that work best for your company.
But to get to that point, you must work through a lot of preliminary questions:
You need to know the answers to these questions for each jurisdiction where you have nexus – on both the state and local level. Each jurisdiction may have its own unique filing requirements, from the type of form you need to use to the return due date.
Even companies that work hard to track the details of state rules and rates can struggle to file and remit tax correctly. Join this webinar to learn which form to use, where to file, and what to include so you can file returns and pay your sales and use tax with confidence.
