Before you start reading

Three questions that decide which of these articles is worth your time.

Which guide should I read first?

Start with nexus. Until you know which states you have crossed a threshold in, registration, taxability and filing questions cannot be answered in any useful order.

How often are these articles updated?

We revisit an article whenever a state changes a rate, threshold or filing rule, or a vendor changes its pricing. Each card shows its publication date, so you can see how current it is before you rely on it.

Do I need software or a service?

Software calculates tax and leaves filing, registrations and notices with your team; a managed service takes the work over. The comparison cluster sets out both models across Avalara, TaxJar, Vertex, Numeral, Kintsugi and Galvix.

The last sales tax article you'll need to read.

A named compliance manager takes over nexus monitoring, registrations, filings, exemption certificates and notices in all 50 states. Live in 2–7 days.
