Jason Parr, CEO of Peisner Johnson, joins the conversation. With 33 years of experience, Peisner Johnson has honed its focus on sales tax compliance over the past six years. Jason's expertise provides a deep dive into the challenges and solutions surrounding sales tax for e-commerce businesses. The 2018 Supreme Court case "Wayfair vs. South Dakota" fundamentally changed the sales tax landscape. Prior to this ruling, businesses were only required to collect sales tax in states where they had a physical presence. The Wayfair decision established that businesses must now register and collect sales tax in states where they exceed certain sales thresholds, regardless of physical presence. This has significantly increased the complexity for e-commerce businesses, which may now have sales tax obligations in multiple states. Jason outlines three critical questions that every e-commerce business must consider to ensure sales tax compliance: Do I Have Nexus? Is What I Sell Taxable? Who is Selling the Product? Navigating sales tax can quickly become complicated, especially for rapidly expanding businesses.
