DID YOU KNOW!
๐ธ Sales Tax Isnโt Your Money โ Youโre Just Holding It!
Sales tax is neither income nor an expense. You collect it on behalf of the state, and youโre responsible for sending it in โ monthly or quarterly, depending on your stateโs rules.
Where it gets tricky? Every state has different sales tax laws! ๐
Whatโs taxable, how much to charge, and where your customer lives all come into play.
Pro tips to stay on track:
โ
Register your business with your state and get a sales tax account number
โ
Use it in your payment processor to calculate sales tax correctly
โ
Open a separate bank account just for sales tax โ that way, youโre not tempted to spend it
โ
Set aside money regularly (or even automate it!) so youโre never caught off guard
๐ก Donโt go it alone โ work with a pro like a bookkeeper or use smart software to help you avoid overpaying, penalties, or late fees.
