TaxConnex Launches CPA Advantage

By Brian Greer on Wed, Oct 29, 2014

TaxConnex, LLC America’s leading independent sales and use tax outsourcing and consulting firm, is launching CPA Advantage, the first of its kind full service sales and use tax solution designed for use by CPA firms. The program provides CPA firms with a turn-key sales tax outsourcing solution for serving clients with no upfront cost.

“A trend in the industry has accelerated as more CPA firms are entering the sales tax outsourcing business. The largest accounting firms are leading the way and regional and local CPA firms are beginning to react,” explains Robert Dumas, TaxConnex’s Founding Partner. “However, the necessity to provide sales tax outsourcing services is counter balanced by the upfront cost to purchase software and develop the infrastructure. CPA Advantage will offer a competitive solution to these firms,” he added.

CPA Advantage provides a complete workflow solution including: data translation; return preparation software; a treasury process for tax payment processing subjected to SSAE 16 audit standards; and administrative support to mail the returns to the jurisdictions and image and store the returns and payment confirmations in a secure client portal.

TaxConnex to Present “Sales Tax & Business License Nexus - Unwinding the Complex Rules” at The Tax Technology Association’s 2013 Annual ACT Conference

By Jeff Meigs on Thu, May 02, 2013

ATLANTA, GA – TaxConnex, LLC, America’s leading independent sales and use tax outsourcing and consulting firm, is proud to announce that Robert Dumas, Founder and Managing Partner, will be speaking and presenting at The Tax Technology Association’s 2013 Annual ACT Conference.  Doug Starr, VP of Sales and Marketing at Business Licenses, LLC, will join Robert in discussing sales tax nexus and business license nexus challenge

Nexus for various tax types is a confusing matter, and the rules regarding sales tax nexus and business license nexus have the most overlap and the most confusion.  The presentation, “Sales Tax and Business License Nexus – Unwinding the Complex Rules”, will include thorough discussion of the following topics:

  • How the rules for sales tax nexus and licensing nexus differ from state to state
  • How your method of selling and delivering your service impacts both sales tax and licensing nexus
  • The failure to collect sales tax where required will transfer the financial obligation from the customer to the retailer
  • How gross receipts tax jurisdictions can raise the stakes in determining licensing nexus
  • The risk of not registering or licensing properly and ideas for mitigating that risk

 “Nexus has always been a challenging topic for businesses as it’s different for every tax type and license requirement.  Even though there tends to be overlap between sales tax nexus and the requirement for business licenses, there’s still confusion for telecommunications providers,” states Doug Starr, VP of Sales & Marketing, Business Licenses, LLC.

Robert Dumas of TaxConnex adds, “We see an increasing number of businesses struggle with the concept of nexus for transaction tax purposes.  The questions we most often hear include, ‘I only have one physical office and I provide a VoIP service. How could I possibly have nexus in these states?’, ‘Does nexus for telecommunications purposes mean I also have to collect sales tax on the sale of handsets?’  We’ll address those questions during the presentation.”

Attendees will receive 1.5 CPE credits.

The session at the 2013 Annual ACT Conference will be held on Monday, May 20, 2013 at 1:30 PM.  Complete conference details can be found at 2013 Annual ACT Conference
