Sales Tax & More

In this episode of the Sales Tax and More Podcast Mike Fleming answers some questions we have received that we believe will be helpful for our listeners!   What are the most aggressive states conducting audits? Are the states still enforcing notice and reporting? Is click through nexus still in effect?

What is ECM Validation Why is it important What are some things you should be checking What are the potential consequences of not paying attention to ECM Validation?  

We will discuss...What is the first thing someone should consider when interviewing a potential sales tax returns provider? Can the provider file all the returns you want to file? Who is your point of contact?  What is their resouloution process?

The leading cause of large audit assessments can be due to missing, incomplete, or invalid Exemption certificates.  We talk about... History Audits Good faith acceptance Improper use of a certificate Validation & more!

In this episode, we talk about why companies leave their sales tax partner with a broken heart. Empty promises from salespeople. Why registering in too many states can be harmful, and how tax collected/ not remitted happens!  

In this episode we discuss...What happens when you don't have documentation of your sales and you are in an audit? What other kinds of issues arise from lack of documentation? A dvice for people who are knee-deep in documentation issues.

In this episode of the Sales Tax and More podcast we discuss setting yourself up for a successful sales tax year and avoiding tax issues.    We discuss economic nexus, physical nexus, registrations and deregistrations, changes in filing frequencies, taxability, and exemptions. 

We have had many clients approach us with this issue. So, in response, we have decided to talk about tax collected and not remitted again! We call it the "cardinal sin of sales tax". 

In this episode, we are interviewing one of CereTax's founders and their VP of Operations Brent Walker. Brent answers questions about the exciting path CereTax is forging when it comes to sales tax software, after years in the industry. 

We hear state tax horror stories a lot and we have been talking about doing a podcast for these types of discretionary tales for a while, but when we came across these three tales we said let's finally air a horror story episode for Halloween. So today we are going to discuss 3 different horror stories related to sales tax software companies, salespeople, and the Streamlined Sales Tax Program.

We have done a number of episodes about the PA Voluntary Compliance Program but they have extended it once again so we thought we could talk about it again today because I believe it's a really important issue and it ties into our nexus series for both sales and income tax nexus.

We mentioned in our last episode that we talked about nexus a lot. We discuss it in virtually all our webinars, we write articles and blog posts about it, yet it continues to be one of the topics that we get the most questions about so we thought it would be a good subject to do a series of podcasts about. Last week was the first in the series and we discussed physical presence nexus and yes it is...

We talk about nexus a lot. We discuss it in virtually all our webinars, we write articles and blog posts about it, yet it continues to be one of the topics that we get the most questions about so I thought it would be a good subject to do a series of podcasts about. Today we are going to discuss physical presence nexus for sales tax.

This is a topic we have been talking about for months but really seems to be picking up steam! A lot of this is centered around PL 86-272 Northwestern Cement -19 months 7 months congress acted BTW - 62 years Economy has changed Net income tax - Sales of TPP- accepted - Fulfilled Not great protection to begin 

In this episode, Michael Fleming and Ellie Moffat will be discussing remote seller sales tax updates as of May 2021. We will talk about Florida, Kansas, Missouri, and PA. 

We previously relayed what the state told us when we asked them why some sellers who are already registered, were actually getting letters, and what the state told us was a clerical error. Just to send back the questionnaire with the sales tax number, you didn't have to fill out the rest of it, and when the person working on your case got that information, they would just mark it as closed. Well,...

Missing, incomplete, or otherwise invalid exemption certificates are generally the leading cause for large audit assessments in companies that are required to collect certificates. Has it always been this way?

Pennsylvania, like the majority of States, believes that when you have inventory in their state this creates enough of a link or connection to create nexus. Once you have nexus the state can then require you to collect their sales tax or pay their income tax.
