Midyear Sales Tax Update from Avalara

by

Join Avalara on Tuesday, June 30, 2020, for a 90-minute update on the latest sales tax trends and regulations. This webinar is free for all users and contains handouts with links to the latest sales tax and marketplace rules by state. ( Register Here )

If you’re worried that you may not be charging the appropriate sales tax or are considering expanding your sales online then this is an educational event you will not want to miss.

Avalara interfaces directly to Sage 100cloud accounting. It automatically computes sales tax based on the ship-to location and the type of product shipped.

While Sage 100cloud allows for creating your own sales tax codes and tracking tax manually the reality is that states are changing their rules so frequently that it might not make sense to manually track sales tax.

As of June 2020, there are only 5 states with no sales tax ( Avalara terms them as NOMAD states after the first letter of each state name ).

States continue to change rules for those who are required to charge tax ( aka Nexus ) for sales made into their states even when a company making the sale doesn’t have a traditional presence/office.

2019 brought dramatic changes in sales and use tax rules: 43 states adopted economic nexus laws, requiring out-of-state sellers to collect sales tax, and 36 of those states also enforced marketplace facilitator laws. Businesses of all sizes have had to scramble to keep up with changing tax liabilities, and it’s not expected to slow down.

Attend this webcast as our strategic partner, Avalara, will again provide in depth insight to arm you with knowledge on the biggest sales tax changes that went into effect in 2019 and what changes you can expect in 2020.

Scott Peterson, Vice President of U.S. Tax Policy and Government Relations for Avalara, will cover:

  • The current state of sales and use tax in the U.S.
  • Which states have enacted economic nexus, and what’s expected to change in 2020.
  • New requirements for marketplace sellers (Amazon, Etsy, etc.)
  • A look at cross-border ecommerce and what international sellers must know about sales tax.
  • Answers to your questions.

The webinar is geared to both Sage partners and end-users. To register follow this link.

State Sales Tax Guides for North America 2019-2020

by

Sales tax service provider Avalara has created a comprehensive website showing sales tax rules for each state in the United States. 

You’ll notice some states are omitted, such as Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and New Hampshire. A fifth, Alaska, has no state-level sales tax but allows municipalities to impose the retail-level tax.

Sales Tax Quick Reference

There is also a quick reference download available for each state charging sales tax. This guide would be handy for distributing to accounting staff for a quick overview of filing dates and requirements.

Sage 100 Integrated Sales Tax

Users of Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud also have the option of incorporating sales tax processing directly into their Sage 100 system. The Avalara integration replaces the manually created sales tax codes and will compute and file sales tax returns to most states on your behalf.

Streamlined Sales Tax ( SST )

If you are making sales in multiple states and aren’t yet registered – here’s an additional option Avalara offers called Streamlined Sales Tax ( info below via their website ) .

Created in 1999, the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement is the result of a cooperative effort between state and local governments and the business community. The goal of SST is to simplify sales and use tax collection and administration for all sellers and all types of commerce by making sales tax administration requirements less burdensome. Participating states must simplify and centralize aspects of sales tax administration. For some companies, SST offers critical tools to help address ever-changing sales tax regulations. For others, the benefits of SST are less obvious.

The active members of SST are: Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,* Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
