1. Sales tax responsibilities - evaluations of the states

U.S. sales tax responsibilities are based on selling on Amazon.com FBA or other e-commerce platforms. Sales tax responsibilities include evaluating the 45 states with sales tax (and D.C.), the 41 Amazon FBA states, 45 economic nexus states, and 47 marketplace facilitator states. The key is knowing which states count marketplace facilitator sales and non-marketplace sales, along with the methods and timing to register once you cross nexus thresholds.

2. Difference between Shopify and a marketplace seller's sales tax responsibilities

Shopify sales tax requirements are different from a marketplace facilitator (Amazon, Walmart, eBay…) seller. Since Shopify is not a marketplace facilitator, having a Shopify store is virtually the same as selling products from your own website. These sales tax issues include evaluating economic nexus requirements, Shopify payments requirements, U.S. entity options with no SSN and, dropshipping exemption certificate requirements.

5. Sales tax responsibilities and issues to avoid penalties

States are now sending audit notices to already-registered sellers.

This new approach is designed to determine if sellers had economic nexus in the state before they registered to collect sales tax.

For example, many states will look at sellers who registered for a sales tax permit after that state’s economic nexus law went into effect and question whether they should have been collecting sales tax before their actual sales tax registration date.

7. Learn steps how to get back on track with your U.S. business

Learn the steps needed to get back on track while selling in the U.S. Find out if your best option is through a foreign entity or a U.S. entity. Did you form a U.S. LLC but never filed any U.S. tax returns?

Gain Solutions

Scott’s goal is to understand your complex situation and give you action steps to move forward with confidence. He will tell you the best strategies to support you moving forward, which will save you a fortune in time and money and help you emerge with confidence.

Expanding to the U.S. and getting into compliance with sales tax requirements is a complex process involving many steps. You may get the first couple right on your own. It is the last three to four steps that destroy your profits from one to year from now that you really want to avoid.

“By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.” – Benjamin Franklin

Scott’s Past Experience

Scott has worked with top brands, including Shopify, Sears, Payoneer, Catching Clouds, Rapid Crush, SOVOS, and several CPA and law firms.

Each client’s strategy session leads to more solutions to current issues in the e-commerce environment and updates from his vast network of colleagues that would be impossible to receive promptly with research on your own (assuming you even came to the best solution, which is unlikely).

“Leverage Scott’s incredible desire for the best strategies and the latest updates to your advantage.”

Financial Certainty

Your U.S. expansion can cost you thousands when not executed correctly. Unfortunately, most seller’s only strategy plan 1-2 moves ahead, versus the 4-5 required to protect your profits.

If you have already been selling and were not in compliance with sales tax, not knowing the best approach could save you millions in a sale that is not canceled due to compliance issues. The process of applying for an EIN with the incorrect start date may result in a routine IRS audit that goes bad or the experiencing heavy fines with past U.S. tax returns being filed.

“Scott’s financial background will help you plan out your best business options to protect your cash flow and avoid these devasting financial mistakes.”
