As a business owner, you want your business to grow and to expand into new states. Often what happens is in the haste to expand you forget that your product or service may have different taxability rules in the new state you are expanding into. We got a question recently from a SaaS provider and they are being proactive in making sure that they are compliant while they are now doing business in new states. They want to know what their sales tax obligations are going forward in these new states. Listen in as Jason and Dan discuss the sales tax complexities of SaaS providers.
