Jason and Paul mention how things have greatly changed in the Tax world over the last few years.

E-Commerce has made a great impact on how the government and states are looking at taxing businesses.

Sales Tax

• Tax on a transaction
• 6% to 12% depending on the jurisdiction
• Different per state
• Huge deal, aka, Margin Killer, if the sales tax is unpaid
• Can ruin selling your business should you not be compliant

In 2018 there was a Taxation case in the Supreme Courts in regards to where corporations are required to be registered and compliant

Jason and Paul state how important it is to have confidence regarding your taxation and make sure you have all jurisdictions covered in which you may be collecting tax.

Collaboration builds confidence, outsource what you are not an expert in

Both Jason and Paul feel like the Government is going to become a little bit more aggressive in regards to the corporations that are not compliant, and even those who are yet to be registered in the correct jurisdiction.
