Client

An online retailer selling through its own store and online marketplaces.

Service
Multi-State Sales Tax Compliance

Project Goal
On-Time Filings in Every State

Stay compliant as sales grow into new states.

Client Overview

A U.S. e-commerce brand sold through its own online store and two marketplaces. Fast growth meant it crossed economic nexus thresholds in new states, and nobody on the team owned sales tax.

The Challenge

  • Changing Nexus: Sales passed state thresholds without anyone noticing.
  • Marketplace vs. Direct Sales: Marketplace-collected tax had to be separated from the brand's own sales.
  • Different Filing Calendars: Each state had its own due dates and filing frequency.

The Solution

Xconcile's multi-state sales and use tax compliance team reviewed past sales by state, set up a monthly nexus check, and took over registrations and filings.

  • Nexus Review: Monthly review of sales by state against each state's thresholds.
  • State Registrations: Registering in new states before collection was required.
  • Return Preparation: Preparing and filing returns on each state's schedule.
  • Filing Calendar: One shared calendar of every due date and payment.

Results and Business Impact

The brand now knows where it has to collect tax and files every return on time, so the team can focus on growing sales.
