The Wayfair decision reshaped state sales tax obligations for e-commerce businesses. Sellers now face complex nexus rules, marketplace taxes, and rapidly changing state requirements. Without a structured approach, scaling can trigger audits, penalties, and missed revenue opportunities.

The Problem: Complex State Tax Rules & Fragmented Compliance

Managing multi-state sales tax obligations is overwhelming. Teams struggle to keep up with registrations, filings, and nexus tracking—especially as businesses expand.

The Solution: A SALT Pod—Focused, Scalable, Specialized

A State and Local Tax (SALT) Pod consolidates tax expertise, technology, and workflows into a dedicated team. This ensures compliance across all jurisdictions, making growth sustainable and audit-ready.

The Challenge: Limited In-House Resources

Most companies lack the internal bandwidth or specialized knowledge to handle state tax obligations efficiently. Growth pressures exacerbate the risk of missed filings or errors.

The Action: Integrate Offshore Expertise & Automation

Combining onshore oversight with offshore specialists, a SALT Pod automates filings, monitors nexus triggers, and manages registrations—delivering cost-effective, accurate, and scalable compliance.

The Result: Scalable Compliance & Reduced Risk

E-commerce businesses with a SALT Pod stay ahead of changing laws, minimize audit exposure, and scale confidently—without sacrificing operational efficiency.

Key Takeaways

✅ Build a tax compliance structure that scales with your business.
✅ Stay audit-ready across multiple states.
✅ Leverage offshore expertise to reduce costs and complexity.
✅ Focus on growth instead of firefighting tax issues.
