I don’t know about other states, but I pa6 sales tax in Maine, where my business is located. It takes me about 5 minutes every quarter. Quickbooks makes it exceedingly simple to do. If I were required to pay sales tax in other states, I don’t see that a platoon of accountants would be required.
Going back to what abridged this silliness about how difficult it is to fill out sales tax,
today for some who still do so, or the idea of some who don't do this, they need an accountant, here's the form which if you feel is massively complicated, the 2nd time you fill it out (after looking up your county code, which as pointed out vary, special code IF applicable), you probably are both mathematically and form filing impaired. Again, this is just ONE example but yeah, it's 5 minutes work including having that complex computing algorithm (addition) to figure out your
gross sales (what else would be asked of you to put here?). My biggest beef with this and many forms WHEN filling out by hand; not enough space for email address
