Cash, tax & funding
Sales tax & compliance without the panic
Sales tax and compliance are boring until they're an emergency. Set up collection, registration, and clean records early so you never scramble, and get a pro for the edge cases.
Tax and compliance rarely block a launch, so founders defer them, then face penalties, back-tax, or a frozen account. The basics: understand where you owe sales tax (nexus), let your platform collect it, register where required, keep clean records, and know the line where you need an accountant. This note orients you and tells you when to get real professional advice, it is not tax advice itself.
Tax and compliance never block a launch, so they get deferred, until a penalty, back-tax bill, or frozen payout makes it an emergency.
The fix is boring and cheap if done early: know where you owe, let your platform collect, register when required, keep clean books.
This orients you; it is not tax or legal advice, confirm specifics with a qualified accountant for your jurisdiction.
