Sales & Use Tax Specialist

Nexus tracking, exemption certificates and sales-tax returns ready to file

The Sales & Use Tax Specialist tracks economic nexus by state, maps product taxability in your tax engine, collects and validates exemption certificates, and prepares sales and use tax returns from transaction data.

A named person reviews and files each return. Registration decisions and any taxability question that is not settled go to your tax adviser; the specialist never gives tax advice.
