Mosey Announces Sales Tax Registration Beta

We’re very excited to introduce the Mosey sales tax registration beta! Since we went GA earlier this year (can you believe it’s almost been a year??), startup founders, controllers, and finance teams have been asking us to help them with sales tax. There are three critical parts of sales tax: registration, collection, and reporting—some providers will help with collection and/or reporting, but no sales tax provider wants to touch registration. That leaves a lot of grueling work to get your sales tax accounts set up across all 50 states (and the District of Columbia).

They might be broad, such as a general business license, or highly specific to your industry, like a liquor license or a contractor’s license. Understanding which licenses apply to your business, how long a business license lasts, when to renew them, and how to manage the process is essential to operate efficiently.

For multi-state business owners, that means determining what you owe (and where you owe it) can be complicated. Consider this following brain-teaser: A Wisconsin-based DTC pickle company grows cucumbers outside of Milwaukee, pickles them on site, and ships them to individual consumers all over the country. As the business grows, it retains the help of a New Jersey-based marketing professional and a fulfillment consultant in Michigan.
