Sales tax requirements vary by state, product and industry. Many businesses try to stay current but do not have time or resources to review all states rules and regulations. In July alone, 18 states had sales tax changes and some of those states had up to 30 changes because of the number of taxing jurisdictions. Some businesses are incorrect about their assumptions regarding pending legislation and nexus-creating activities and many continue to manage sales tax compliance using manual methods or very limited technology. For even the simplest of tax compliance, automation may offer a significant improvement in accuracy, documentation, and time savings that benefits the business and reduces the risks associated with a sales tax audit.
