Spotlight Series | Why Sales Tax Collection Is Only Going To Get More Complicated

Avalara's Meg Higgins and BigCommerce's Sharon Gee join Chris Walton and Anne Mezzenga to discuss all the pressures the omnichannel evolution has placed on retailers' abilities to collect tax accurately at a local level. In this podcast, Chris and Anne go deep with Meg and Sharon on: – The increasing amount of digital access points consumers have by way of things like digital marketplaces, BOPIS, cross-border retailing and more – All the complicated tax issues that arise for retailers in trying to offer these capabilities to their consumers - What it takes to get in front of these issues and to keep the IRS off your back – And, most importantly, how tax collection will only get more complicated in the future as AI takes hold and we can all "checkout anywhere" Whether you are an SMB or a large scale retailer, this podcast scores a 10 out of 10 on our Omni Talk education meter.
