The New Normal in Sales Tax Regulatory and Enforcement Trends

The ripple effects of the 2018 Wayfair ruling, pandemic-driven budgeting shortfalls and climbing costs (which also wallop state and local governments) ensure that sales tax compliance activities will come under strain throughout 2022 and into 2023.

Ongoing sales and use tax rules changes, enforcement shifts, and auditing activity requires tax leaders to remain agile. Putting in place the right talent, processes, and technology tools enables agile responses while freeing up precious transaction tax resources to perform higher-value activities. External relationships with trusted advisors — including sales and use tax experts, tax technology providers, and accounting firms — also help tax professionals contend with compliance challenges and elevate their strategic contributions.
