Sales and Use Tax Compliance
Keeping up with ever‑changing sales and use tax rules is challenging, especially when your business ships products or delivers services across multiple states. Different jurisdictions apply varying rates, filing frequencies, and exemption rules, and missing a single deadline can lead to penalties or audits. Nichols Accounting delivers comprehensive Sales and Use Tax Compliance services, guiding businesses through registration, collection, and reporting so you remain fully compliant and penalty free.
Navigating Complex Nexus Requirements
Economic nexus laws now reach far beyond traditional physical presence tests. Our team evaluates your sales volume, transaction counts, and service activities in every state to determine where you must register and collect tax.

We review marketplace facilitator rules, drop‑shipment arrangements, and remote seller thresholds, then prepare a clear roadmap that lists registration steps, filing frequencies, and document retention requirements. With accurate nexus analysis in place, you can expand into new markets with confidence, knowing where and when to charge tax and how to apply exemptions correctly.
Multi‑Jurisdiction Reporting Made Simple
Once collection begins, accurate reporting becomes essential. Nichols Accounting configures tax calculation software or point‑of‑sale integrations that apply correct rates at checkout, reducing manual adjustments and errors.
