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.
