It has not only created one of the most advanced fulfillment networks in the world by storing, packing and shipping your products to your customers… it has also provided Amazon sellers with multiple advantages.

Some of these include easy access to its HUGE marketplace, expedited two-day delivery, secure payments, and more.

As a result, this amazing and profitable opportunity has skyrocketed online sales to almost $190 BILLION in the last few years alone.

Until recently, consumers could often buy products online for less by saving on sales tax. Consequently, states lost BILLIONS of $$$ in uncollected sales tax revenue.

This caused most states to ‘get in’ on the giant revenue pie by charging e-commerce business sales tax.  This change impacts EVERYONE doing business on the internet; including Amazon FBA Sellers.

These new tax policies became known as the “Amazon laws”. Unfortunately, since they’ve been released, most FBA Sellers and online business owners, unfortunately, have continued to bury their head in the sand hoping sales tax will go away, but the situation is only getting worse as more time passes on.

As an FBA Seller or online business owner, you must now:

1. COLLECT sales tax accurately.
2. REMIT that tax to the proper state agency.  

When sales tax becomes overdue, it becomes a liability comprised of three things: sales tax, plus interest and penalties on the amount of sales tax due; all of which can total up to a MASSIVE 10% or more of Your Total Sales.

Here’s a quick example of a sales tax liability from $5,000 in sales in multiple states:

As an FBA Seller (or any online business owner), state governments hold YOU responsible for being COMPLIANT with sales tax laws.

If you’re an established FBA Seller and have NOT collected and paid your sales taxes, you are already HEAVILY under water and need to act immediately.

Failing to Collect and Remit Sales Tax at the Required Time Means You’ll be Obligated to Pay the Sales Tax Liability Out of Your OWN POCKET!

Running your business out of compliance is equivalent to FLUSHING Your Profits Down the Toilet!  

Choosing to ignore the responsibility of becoming compliant does not free you from being indebted to the collection agency of that state… and, it gets worse…

Neglecting to Pay the Outstanding Tax Liability Could Send Your Business Into Liquidation AND Can Even Put You at Personal Risk of Bankruptcy!

The State Sales Tax Departments have powers to exercise their rights and take legal action against you to recover the amount due, PLUS penalties and interest.

Here’s a Typical Sales Tax Audit Scenario:

Let’s say you’re an Amazon FBA Seller and you fail to collect or remit sales tax in one of the FBA states.  Nothing may happen at first, and after a year or two with no audit, you may incorrectly assume that you’re in compliance.

BUT…

Within a few years, the state tax agency will eventually conduct a manual audit. At this point, you’ve now entered their taxation audit process and will be legally bound to cooperate, collaborate, and comply.

At this point, the sales tax auditor will require you to pay the uncollected taxes immediately plus any fees/fines. The amount due will continue to grow until you pay.

 Being Audited from the Tax Department Can be a Very Hard Battle to Recover From.

In a perfect world, you’ll get audited in the first year of business, keeping your taxes and penalties down.

However, we’ve seen audit cases take 7-10 years or longer to finally reach businesses, giving owners a very nasty surprise.

At that point, it’s generally too late for business owners to recover because the tax agency assesses every single transaction from day one. This generally accumulates to an amount too large for the business owner to pay, causing the destruction of that business and even leading to personal litigation.

Where and When Do Sales Tax Need to be Paid?

You need to collect and remit sales tax when you have nexus. No nexus? No problem. You’re off the hook for sales tax.

If you HAVE nexus, however, then sales tax is your responsibility as long as you continue to trade in an FBA state.

What is nexus?

It’s just a fancy way of saying you’re obligated to collect and pay sales tax in each state where your business benefits from the state’s services or infrastructure.

Examples are using that state’s roads or bridges, having staff physically present in the state for any business reason, and/or storing products in a warehouse in that state.

As an FBA business owner, you would generally have nexus (tax liability) in at least the state where the business is registered and the state where your products are warehoused.        

Note: There are only five states in the US that don’t have sales tax:

1. Alaska
2. Montana
3. New Hampshire
4. Delaware
5. Oregon

If you are NOT in one of these states and use Amazon’s FBA service, then you have sales tax nexus and are required to collect and remit sales tax for your business. 

Important Note: Sales Tax Nexus and Income Tax Nexus are NOT the same. Some states require you to collect and remit sales tax and foreign register or qualify to do business in the state to file a state corporate return. This training is covered in the Sales Tax System.

Already Using a Sales Tax Remitting Service Such as TaxJar®? You May Be Wondering if You Still Need Sales Tax System? 
 

TaxJar® is just one of several recommended companies that provide sales tax remitting services.  TaxJar® provides great information through their blogs and can pull your reports from Amazon Central to provide you with necessary sales and sales tax numbers. STS can also provide recommendations for other remitting services based on your specific business needs. 

PLEASE NOTE*

Without the required tax permits, TaxJar® and other remitting services CANNOT make payments on your behalf.  Remitting services will be able to pull reports reflecting sales and tax number accurately; HOWEVER, these numbers are useless if your business does not have the necessary tax permits to submit sales tax payments.

Having TaxJar® with no permits is like owning a car with no license to drive the car. You MUST update your Amazon Seller Central Tax settings with your permits to start collecting and remitting sales tax.

This Is Where Sales Tax System Comes Into Play

There are several factors to consider when applying for permits. The application process can end up costing you a fortune if it is handled incorrectly…but don’t worry…Sales Tax System is Here to HELP.  STS will take you through the permit process with our step-by-step guide…OR LET STS TAKE THE WORRY FROM YOU. Simply pay $75 per state and you can consider the permit application DONE!!

Behind on Sales Tax?

We often see new businesses naively neglect sales tax in their first few years or received incorrect information and believe they were not required to remit sales tax. Sound like you?  The good news is, you are not alone.

The BAD NEWS is, NOT getting into COMPLIANCE ASAP is a financial disaster waiting to happen and is extremely detrimental to your business.

If you have been selling for 6 months or longer and have not collected or remitted sales tax you need to take action ASAP!!

You are Accruing Sales Tax and Fees Each Day You Are NOT Collecting and Remitting Payments in States Where You are Responsible for Nexus.

How would you like to GET COMPLIANT and avoid costly errors while saving a whole heap of time, money, and frustration? Get back to focusing on growing your business…
