Vermont Sales Tax Setup for Corporation, LLC, LLP

If you're subject to Sales or Use tax you must register with the Department of Taxes. Vermont Sales Tax applies on tangible personal property retail sales. The sales tax rate is 6%. Vermont Use Tax is imposed on the buyer at the same rate as the sales tax. The use tax is due if the seller collects no tax on a taxable purchase. This situation occurs when the seller is not registered with the Vermont Department of Taxes to collect tax. An out-of-state vendor must register and collect sales tax if they made sales of at least $100,000 or made 200 individual transactions during any preceding twelve-month period. Note: SaaS is not considered a taxable service in Vermont. Nonprofits may submit an exemption certificate to be exempt from Sales Tax on items sold by the organizations for charitable purposes. The exemption applies only to items purchased for resale and does not apply to items purchased by an organization for its own use.

Exiting a PEO: Reasons, Considerations, and Checklist

If you work with a professional employer organization (PEO), it’s a good idea to regularly reevaluate the relationship. Growing businesses can reach a point where the costs of working with a PEO outweigh the benefits, and some companies expanding into new states may also run into limitations on what PEOs can do there—eliminating the PEO’s original value proposition. If you’re dissatisfied with your PEO or your business circumstances have changed, it may be time to leave.

What is Multi-State Payroll?

Remote work is becoming increasingly popular with businesses and employees: According to estimates, flexible work arrangements have become three to ten times more common since 2019. Offering remote work options can give employers access to a national talent pool, reduce overhead costs, and help businesses attract and retain the best people for their teams. This shift also means that an increasing number of companies face multi-state payroll obligations. If you employ out-of-state remote workers, have business locations in multiple states, or have employees who travel for work, you may be required to withhold taxes in multiple states.
