Remote Sales Tax Compliance
Remote sales tax compliance refers to the process online sellers follow to ensure they collect and remit the correct sales tax to the appropriate states or jurisdictions. Since tax laws vary by location, businesses need to determine where they have a taxable presence or economic connection, then charge the right rate, and submit the collected taxes accordingly. This ensures legal adherence and avoids penalties, especially as states increasingly enforce rules on online sales. Modern tools and software can assist businesses in accurately managing these requirements across multiple regions.
