Comparing the Cost of Sales Tax Compliance: In House vs. Outsourcing Infographic
Sales tax compliance is complex. Make sure you're getting it right.
Many businesses are struggling to keep up with their sales tax obligations and often don't realize when they're violating the rules, exposing themselves to significant risk.

An important component of that decision is cost - but you must make sure you're considering all of the relevant costs when comparing the two.
