“Nexus expansion has significantly changed taxation for small and medium enterprises. As companies continue to navigate tax changes in the wake of the Wayfair decision, automation is essential to meet current and evolving requirements. Waiting to see what happens, or ignoring the compliance issues, can have serious consequences for your business. Leaders are recognising the need to automate and update their processes for a seamless transition to the new nexus standards and future sales and use tax changes.”
