Whether you’re an eCommerce seller, an Amazon FBA seller, or an online business owner, and you think sales tax doesn't apply to you, you might actually be surprised! 

In this episode, Alex Oxford, founder of the TaxValet, talks about sales tax, how to navigate it on your own, and how new businesses should think about sales tax compliance.

Many business owners have this mindset that sales tax is so overwhelming and complicated. But it doesn’t have to be scary. The earlier you start, the easier it is to navigate. It’s all about understanding the basics so you know what to look out for as you begin growing and scaling your business.

Sales tax is one of those fundamental things in business that you need to do right the first time. Without a plan, a strategy, and a system in place, you might get to a point where you’re creating a lot more work for yourself down the road.
