Sales tax compliance is one of the biggest challenges online retailers face, with complex and ever-changing state regulations. Businesses must navigate nexus rules, multi-state tax obligations, audits, and compliance risks, all while focusing on growth. Northern 45 specializes in helping online retailers manage sales tax efficiently, ensuring compliance while minimizing financial and operational burdens.

Sales tax compliance is one of the most common and misunderstood risks in online retail. If you have received a notice, are unsure where you owe tax, or suspect you may be out of compliance, Northern 45 helps you evaluate exposure and develop a clear path forward.
