{"id":70649,"title":"Numeral - Ecommerce sales tax on autopilot","tagline":"We do everything from registration to remittance.","body":"TLDR: Numeral automates sales tax compliance for ecommerce stores. We do everything from registration to remittance.\n\n### **Problem**:\n\nIn 2018, the [Supreme Court ruled](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/South_Dakota_v._Wayfair,_Inc.) that states can require out-of-state merchants to charge sales tax.\n\nThis means Shopify stores are now required to register with up to 47 state agencies and potentially submit 47 monthly filings.\n\nAdditionally, there are over 13,000 local jurisdictions, each with their own complex set of rules and rates.\n\nIn Iowa, for example, Snickers bars are taxed, while Twix bars are tax-exempt because they contain flour. 🙄\n\nThe current solutions are confusing, self-serve products that offer little to no service.\n\n### **Solution:**\n\nNumeral automates the entire process for ecommerce sellers. Just connect your Shopify, Amazon, or other store and we handle the rest.\n\n* Registration: We can register companies in all 47 sales tax charging states.\n* Monitoring: We monitor for sales tax rate changes and automatically adjust your tax settings.\n* Filing: Lastly, we submit tax returns \u0026 payments on your behalf.\n\n![](https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/xkilm56kCWPHeUyHBIY4a-dsuiEyZgxaIoWV0bcsxo-WXl3fZxZ2qWf5D3I6xy0at4xZ8gvmkxmM245gEWXLIil-WFtvKERRMZmy22bsNB4A95owzOuA7mY1MC3FwQLB9A1gRsqPiG9o85HRpybvCaI)\n\n### **Why us?**\n\n**Kevin** - Kevin is a licensed CPA in the state of California.
