Growing Globally? Buying from Overseas? Landed Cost Could be an Issue

Sales tax in the United States is complex, but because Americans are raised with it, the thousands of jurisdictions and special taxes seem to (at least a kind of) make sense. As soon as a company starts making overseas exports, the level of complexity increases significantly — especially because many other countries use tariff and import fee types that are unheard of in the United States. Learn how to better managed landed cost for your business. You can watch an informative webinar recording .

Happy Fiscal New Year

Sales tax laws change when states and local tax jurisdictions (counties, municipalities, special districts) need more revenue. They change when there’s a revenue surplus. They change in response to pressure from lobbyists, public opinion, or technological innovations. Sometimes, it seems, they change with the tides or the seasons. There have been a number of red-letter changes to date in 2016, most notably with respect to state sales tax rates, eliminating exemptions, and remote sales tax laws. More are sure to follow during the second half of the year. Whenever there is change, be it a rate increase, a new exemption, or an amended regulation, businesses need to be prepared to respond accordingly.
