Sales Tax Services

---

Sales tax is a complex and ever-changing area of compliance that directly affects businesses of all sizes across the United States. At SK Financial, we specialize in helping U.S.-based businesses understand, register for, and stay compliant with their sales tax obligations. From obtaining your sales tax permit to filing accurate returns and avoiding penalties, we provide a complete, end-to-end service tailored to your industry and state requirements.

Sales tax is a state-level tax imposed on the sale of goods (and in some cases, services) to consumers. Each state sets its own tax rates, rules, and filing requirements, and many cities and counties have their own additional rates.

• State-specific rules: Sales tax laws vary from one state to another. For example, Texas charges sales tax on most tangible goods, while New York may exempt certain clothing items.
• Nexus obligations: You may be required to collect sales tax if your business has a physical presence (store, office, warehouse) or economic nexus (exceeding a certain sales threshold) in a state.
• Filing frequency: States typically require sales tax to be filed monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on your sales volume.
   

Failing to comply with sales tax rules can result in hefty fines, interest charges, and audits.

Before you can collect sales tax from customers, you must register with the appropriate state tax authority to obtain a Sales Tax Permit (also called a Seller’s Permit or Sales Tax License).

Our services include:

• Determining in which states you have nexus.
• Completing and submitting your sales tax permit application.
• Ensuring correct business classification for accurate tax setup.
• Setting up your sales tax account with the state Department of Revenue.
   

📌 Why it’s important:
Collecting sales tax without a valid permit is illegal and can lead to severe penalties.

If your business purchases goods for resale, you may be eligible for a resale certificate, which allows you to buy goods tax-free from suppliers.

We help you:

• Apply for resale certificates in all applicable states.
• Understand the rules for resale exemptions.
• Maintain proper records for audit protection.
• Ensure suppliers have the correct documentation to avoid charging you sales tax.
   

📌 Example:
A clothing retailer in Florida can purchase wholesale stock without paying sales tax by providing a valid resale certificate to the supplier.

Once registered, you are responsible for collecting sales tax from customers and submitting it to the state.

Our filing process includes:

1. Gathering and verifying your sales data from POS systems, e-commerce platforms, and invoices.
2. Calculating sales tax liability for each state and local jurisdiction.
3. Filing accurate monthly, quarterly, or annual returns.
4. Submitting payments to the correct tax authority before the deadline.
    

Benefits of using SK Financial for filing:

• Avoid costly filing errors.
• Never miss a deadline.
• Stay compliant with changing state tax laws.
   

If you’ve missed filing deadlines or made errors in the past, states may impose penalties and interest. We can assist in requesting penalty waivers and negotiating with state tax departments.

Our penalty relief process:

• Review your compliance history.
• Prepare and submit a penalty abatement request.
• Provide supporting documentation (e.g., proof of reasonable cause, system errors, natural disasters).
• Follow up with state agencies until the waiver request is resolved.
