Sales Tax and eCommerce – Simplified.

ECommerce has transitioned into a catch all term used to describe a business model that highlights the selling of tangible goods/products over the internet. This type of model can vary dramatically from one business to the next but the consistent theme is utilizing the internet to reach and sell to customers that historically would have been unreachable. The internet and eCommerce have provided businesses with a previously untapped resource. Physical location is no longer a constraint on business growth.

As you utilize the internet and technology to promote growth, inevitably, other areas of responsibility grow as well. One very important area of responsibility that grows almost as exponentially as your eCommerce revenue, is your sales tax collection obligation.
