In this episode…
Just because the government says that a seller should register for income tax doesn't necessarily mean that the seller has to register everywhere. According to the team at Sales Tax and More, it depends on where your exposure is material. So, what does this mean in terms of income tax compliance for online sellers?
For over 60 years, income tax protection has come down to Public Law 86-272. Now, Amazon and e-commerce sellers are battling the ins and outs of this federal law in order to maintain income tax compliance without paying tax in every state. Luckily, Sales Tax and More is here to help you prepare for upcoming income tax changes and challenges in the new year.
In this week's episode of the Sales Tax and More podcast, Michael J. Fleming and his co-host Ellie Moffat explain why income tax will be the next big battle for e-commerce and Amazon sellers. They discuss the provisions of Public Law 86-272, how different states implement the law, and what online sellers should do to handle issues related to income tax compliance. Stay tuned.
