Baltimore and Maryland business owners need to ensure compliance with sales tax reporting requirements in each jurisdiction where they have nexus – sales over a designated amount. Over the past few years, managing this requirement has become an increasingly complicated proposition. Not only did the 2018 Supreme Court ruling in South Dakota v Wayfair change reporting rules, but the proliferation of online sales has increased exposure to new collection and reporting obligations. Matters are made more complicated when you consider that each state and local jurisdiction often has different and constantly changing rules. To manage the process and gain peace of mind, many businesses turn to outsourced sales tax compliance management.
