Trying to decide if sales tax software is right for you? Not sure which tool is the best fit for your business model? Hear sales tax expert Chris Vignone share important tips and strategies to consider when implementing a sales tax automation tool.

Today, nearly every state in the U.S. has economic nexus laws that create tax obligations for sellers. In 2021, 35 states saw an increase in sales tax revenues averaging 6.91 percent from the prior year, a growth that correlates with stricter enforcement of state-specific nexus requirements. As a result, some businesses are scrambling to understand their liabilities and get compliant. More than ever, tax professionals are turning to technology and automation to mitigate risks associated with sales tax liabilities. Conducting the proper due diligence before implementing can save you time and headaches in the future.

Has your company or client expressed interest in a sales tax calculation and compliance tool? Wondering if you need all the bells and whistles? You don’t want to blindly implement a tool without understanding the implications for your business.
