Supreme Court Ruling Unleashes the Kraken

Last week's supreme court ruling has changed the sales tax game. Originally, states could only charge sales tax if a company had nexus in that state. While nexus rules were complicated, they generally limited states to only being able to go after sales tax from companies with a physical presence. However, this rule has been repealed, meaning states are free to make their own rules regarding sales tax. Unsurprisingly, this is making big waves for anyone making out of state sales.
With these changes, it's critical to understand where you're doing business and what rules you must follow. Our sales tax partner, Avalara, plays a crucial role with their sales tax products. They will be hosting a webinar on Thursday, June 28th, to answer anyone's questions. It goes for one hour and is totally free, so make sure to sign up! For BirdDog customers, we offer an Avalara Sales Tax Connector. If you make out of state sales where you have historically not charged sales tax, the game has changed.
Don't get caught unaware.
