TikTok Shop offers enormous potential for e-commerce brands, but non-resident sellers face unique challenges.

Sales tax compliance is a critical yet complex challenge for e-commerce businesses, especially when selling across both marketplaces like Amazon, Walmart, and eBay, and non-marketplace platforms like Shopify or your own website.
While marketplaces collect and remit sales tax on your behalf, non-marketplace sellers must track economic nexus thresholds across multiple states.
For those selling on both marketplace and non-marketplace platforms, the complexity increases as some states combine both types of sales toward the threshold limit.
Falling behind on sales tax compliance is common but difficult to resolve without the right guidance. It’s not just a matter of picking software—if you’re behind, navigating the intricacies of back taxes requires expert analysis and strategic planning.
Scott partners with the top professionals in the industry to ensure that you move in the right direction, avoiding costly mistakes and penalties.
