Sales Tax Filing
Sales Tax Filing is the process of reporting and remitting the sales taxes a business collects from customers to the appropriate tax authorities. This typically occurs on a monthly, quarterly, or annual basis, depending on state or local regulations and business revenue.
The process involves:
Calculating the total sales tax collected.
Filing sales tax returns with each jurisdiction where the business has a tax nexus.
Submitting tax payments by the required deadlines.
Failure to file accurately and on time can lead to penalties, interest charges, and audits.
