Alaska Sales Tax Exemptions

You do if your business is considered to be "doing business" within a state. The Supreme Court ruling in SD v. Wayfair on June 21, 2018 changed the standard by which this was determined. Now, if your business has a sufficient volume or revenues or transactions within a state, you have established nexus within that state. Nexus means you have to charge sales tax to your customers within that state.

Agile will complete a sales tax nexus study to determine in which states you have met or exceeded the nexus thresholds. All we need are your: a) physical locations, and; b) prior years sales records to analyze both revenues and transaction counts per state.

Don't try to reinvent the wheel. There are a number of excellent sales tax rate software solutions in the marketplace and we are partners with ALL of them. Ask us for our input on which would be the best choice for your business and we'll gladly guide you and provide an introduction to one (or several options) available in the marketplace.

Well, the answer like most everything is sales tax is, "it depends," because each state drafts its own laws and they vary widely from state-to-state. A sales tax consulting firm, such as Agile, should perform a taxability study on the products and services your business sells in any states where you have nexus to determine whether you should be collecting sales tax on your sales of those products or services.

There are a number of excellent choices in the sales tax software space. We are a sales tax consulting partner with ALL the available options in the marketplace. Leverage our years worth of firsthand experience with these options to help guide you to the best choice for your business.

Agile can do this for you. Most states require the same information to process a registration. Things like: legal entity name, FEIN #, date of incorporation, etc. All states require the names, date-of-birth and social security numbers of officers. Some states will even require a copy of an officer's driver's license.

Completing a registration will allow your business to begin collecting taxes going forward. If you have taxes from prior periods to disclose, a VDA will enable you to do so with the added benefit of the penalties being waived.

Your assigned filing frequency depends on the volume of transactions you have within a state. Many states will ask about your expected volume of sales during the registration (or VDA) process. Some other states will initially default your account to monthly filings. All states will re-evaluate your filing frequency on an annual basis.

Yes! We will absolutely handle all notices and communications you receive from the state(s) regarding sales and use tax. We provide a comprehensive, turnkey solution to outsource your sales and use tax issues.

Determining taxable sales is the first, and most important step in determining your monthly sales tax filing obligations. Sales tax software, if properly configured, can solve or at least simplify this process. Combine that with an accurate matrix classifying your products or services taxability, and this becomes a cinch!
