Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement

The Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement (SSTA) is an initiative among U.S. states aimed at simplifying and modernizing sales tax collection. It provides a standardized approach to various aspects of sales tax, such as definitions, rates, and exemptions, making it easier for businesses to comply, especially those selling online. By joining the agreement, states can streamline their tax processes and reduce administrative burdens, ultimately improving efficiency and consistency across jurisdictions. The goal is to create a more uniform tax system that facilitates commerce while ensuring states can effectively collect sales taxes.
