U.S. Sales Tax Support for International Sellers

Selling in the U.S.? Don’t Let Sales Tax Catch You Off Guard

Global commerce has created opportunities for international sellers to open up the U.S. market, but understanding the complexities of United States tax law can be daunting.

Starting a business that services U.S. clients is often easier than staying compliant with U.S. sales tax laws. International sellers may find themselves liable for sales tax in multiple states, each with its own rules, thresholds, and filing requirements. Navigating U.S. tax rules from abroad is complex. That’s where AccurateTax comes in.

AccurateTax provides a full sales tax lifecycle of services to help simplify the process with expert registration services, accurate tax calculations, and full support for reporting and remittance of tax liabilities.

Our goal is to help our international sellers understand their obligations, clean up past exposure, and stay compliant, without the stress of needing to learn an entirely different set of tax regulations for the United States.

Why U.S. Sales Tax is So Challenging for International Sellers

  • U.S. sales tax is fundamentally different from VAT and GST systems used in most other countries.
  • There is no national standard. Each state sets its own laws, rates, boundaries, and reporting requirements.
  • Registration, reporting, and remittance processes vary widely by state and are difficult to navigate without local expertise.
  • Sales tax complexity makes professional help essential, not optional.

Let’s be honest: US-based businesses have a hard time understanding U.S. sales tax law. As an international seller, it’s simply not something you can often prepare for yourself – nor should you be expected to. However, if you’re a non-U.S. business selling into the United States, whether through your own website, Amazon, or other marketplaces, you may be liable for U.S. sales tax. Many states in the U.S. require foreign sellers to register, collect, and remit sales tax once certain thresholds are met.

AccurateTax bridges the gap, helping international businesses avoid costly mistakes and stay compliant with confidence.
