Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement (SSTA)

The Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement (SSTA) is an initiative designed to simplify and standardize sales tax systems among U.S. states. It aims to make it easier for businesses, especially those selling online, to collect and remit sales tax. By creating uniform rules, definitions, and processes, the SSTA helps reduce the complexity of sales tax compliance for businesses operating in multiple states. States that participate agree to follow these streamlined guidelines, which can help improve tax collection efficiency and reduce the administrative burden on retailers and consumers alike.
