Sales tax compliance is more complicated than ever for manufacturers, distributors, and wholesalers, thanks to supply chain issues, shifting sales channels to meet demand, and labor shortages. In fact, according to the 2021 Deloitte and The Manufacturing Institute’s Manufacturing Talent study, 77% of manufacturers surveyed anticipate ongoing complications from the labor shortage, and many have had to switch suppliers to keep business operations running smoothly. 

Along with this complexity, manufacturers and other tax-exempt sellers face higher audit risks than other industries. Common mistakes found by auditors include failure to register where required, missing exemption certificates, and reporting the wrong consumer use tax.

Don’t navigate these issues alone. Let a tax expert from Avalara help you make sense of your tax obligations in our webinar.
