What Is a Sales Tax Notice?
At its core, a sales tax notice is an official document sent from the state tax collector informing you of a tax situation that you need to know about. The notice may tell you that going forward, you must pay your ecommerce use taxes on a different schedule than you have been paying them. It may tell you that economic nexus thresholds have changed, that sales tax registration filing fees have gone up or it may inform you of one of a thousand other changes.
When you read your sales tax notice, you may wonder what it means for you. That’s what SalesTaxSolutions.US is here for — to interpret your sales tax notices for you.

Sales Tax Notices for Late or Missing Payments
Unfortunately, your ecommerce sales tax notice may tell you that you are late paying your ecommerce use taxes or sales tax online. If you work with SalesTaxSolutions.US, it is unlikely you would receive a notice like this because we prepare sales tax reports on your behalf so that you always know what you owe and when to pay.
If you forget to send your ecommerce use tax payment in, however, you may be liable for penalties and interest. If the amount is large enough or you have not responded quickly to the notice, the state may put a lien on your business, or they may even put out a warrant for your arrest. In most states, failure to pay sales and use tax is a felony if the amount is over $10,000.
Getting into this kind of tax trouble is not only stressful, it’s downright frightening. When you work with SalesTaxSolutions.US, you can relax knowing that you have an expert sales tax company on your side. Especially in cases in which the state has made a mistake and you are not behind on your taxes, you need to have accurate and up-to-date sales tax reports to prove your innocence.
