The Game of Nexus: Know Where You Owe When it comes to tax compliance, nexus is the key to everything you do. Nexus is defined as the obligation to collect and remit tax where business is conducted. However, there is a range of ways nexus is created, the rules vary state by state, and many companies aren't even aware of all of the possible triggers because they're constantly changing as sales tax legislation continues to evolve. Attend this free, live webinar “The Game of Nexus: Know Where You Owe” and discover where you might have unknown tax obligations.

Risk of Basing Sales Tax Rates on Zip Codes

Using a zip code based tool to determine a sales tax rate may work, but then again it may not. Take for example a recent announcement by the Ohio Department of Taxation providing an updated list of sales tax rates by Ohio post offices and zip codes, effective April 1, 2014.Relying on these zip codes alone could lead to over- and undercharging sales tax.

Why is that? It turns out this list includes the caveat that: “Some Ohio municipalities do not appear on this listing because they are not large enough to have their own post offices.” In addition, some Ohio municipalities include more than one jurisdiction. For example, “Small portions of Delaware, Fairfield, Licking and Union counties asses a transit authority sales tax that may not be accurately reflected in the rates by post office.”



Charging the wrong sales tax rate could lead to more than just a customer service issue. Sales tax compliance is like the game of Operation: if you’re not very precise, you can set off alarms. Watch the video below to learn more on why relying on a manual zip code based system to calculate sales tax may not be the wisest option:
