Sales Tax Compliance for
SaaS Businesses

Simplified Solutions for Your Growing SaaS Business.

What is SaaS Sales Tax and Why Does It Matter?

SaaS Sales Tax applies to software accessed online rather than installed, with no uniform U.S. rule—each state sets its own regulations, making compliance complex.

As your Software as a Service (SaaS) business expands, understanding SaaS tax by state and ensuring compliance is crucial. Yonda Tax offers SaaS tax software and services to manage your SaaS Sales Tax obligations efficiently.

Taxability

Whether or not SaaS is taxable in a particular state depends on how the state classifies it. Some states view it as a service, while others see it more like a tangible product (like software).

Tax Rates

Even if SaaS is taxable in a state, the tax rate can vary. Some states have a blanket sales tax rate, while others might have different rates depending on the type of service or good being purchased (e.g., reduced rate for business purchases).

The Burden of Collection

The sales tax responsibility typically falls on the seller (the SaaS company). However, there can be exceptions depending on the state and the specific situation.
