Course Description

Did you know that states, local governments, and the business community have come together to reduce the burden of sales tax compliance on sellers? It may sound too good to be true, but the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) initiative allows businesses to simplify sales tax requirements while also paying less to maintain compliance.

In today’s economy, SST is more important than ever as businesses trigger tax obligations in multiple states due to increased e-commerce. SST works to create more uniform tax rules across participating states and even offsets the cost of using a tax technology provider for calculations, returns, and remittance. 

Learning Objectives:


  • Determine how SST simplifies sales tax requirements and reduces audit liability

  • Recall which states currently participate in SST

  • Identify the qualification requirements to receive free sales tax calculations, returns, and filing
