South Dakota. That’s where everything started. It no longer mattered whether it was software delivered electronically or tangible software. Software was now subject to sales tax, specifically state sales tax rules. Given the latest changes regarding the status of digital goods, becoming taxable software, and the need for governments worldwide to capitalize on those changes, a flood of new questions regarding sales tax came.
What will the applicable tax rates be? Do you need a sales tax permit? Is the US tax SaaS framework similar throughout all of its states? What about sales tax returns? What are the differences in taxation systems around the world? What tax thresholds do SaaS & software developers need to be aware of? The world needed answers, and the tax code needed to be understood.
Indeed, any change in the taxation status of a product triggers an avalanche effect on taxpayers, in this case, SaaS businesses, who are left confused as far as their obligations are concerned. SaaS transactions are now subject to sales taxes, and developers need to figure out a way to collect sales tax without cumbering their staff.

You might find that each country has its own set of rules for collecting tax revenue, and staying on top of aspects like economic nexus is crucial when selling your software licenses worldwide.
It is essential to be aware of the general rules of taxation in various systems across the world, as this knowledge will assist you in grasping the necessary steps in achieving compliance. Tax deductions, receipts, data processing, your staff is now exposed to a series of tasks of the utmost urgency. So, how do you plan to take charge of SaaS taxable products?
Handling Compliance on Your Own
Once you understand the ins and outs of the system, you need to take the steps in the right direction, meaning achieving compliance for your cloud computing services. Failing to do so is considered tax fraud and could expose your cloud-based software to costly fines that may easily cripple the growth of your SaaS company.
And while there may be nothing holding you back from handling taxes all on your own, without the help or assistance of an independent team, the time, workload, and information required to pull it off might be a lot to take in. Because this process is labor-intensive and your team may not have the necessary knowledge to handle each tax agreement and framework around the globe, the penalty risk is even higher.

Your SaaS company may suffer if you are constantly troubled by how much tax you are required to collect and the tax receipts you need to send for each transaction.
