It’s not a secret that business owners, especially new ones hate paying taxes. They consider working for taxes forever.

Despite many people believe taxes are theft, it’s due in return for the government’s protection and services.

Sales tax rules vary from country to country. For example in the USA tax amount varies from state to state. The charges start from 2.9% up to 7.25%. In Canada, it varies from province to province. But in many places, there are fixed amounts on most goods and services.

 

Tax deadlines

 

Every country has its own deadlines for filing taxes. For example in the USA its 15 April 2019, Canada: 15 June 2019, UK: 31 January 2020.

Sometimes countries have additional tax returns, such as deadlines for Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT), partnership returns.

For many business owners, it’s a nightmare to manage documentation activities in time. Therefore almost all of them try to invest an automated system of accounting and taxation. Automation is a salvation for both small and medium-sized businesses. You can keep your receipts in your cloud-based system and have no limits to get them in any case.

This is most important when tax time comes. So you will get rid of preparing manual papers and documentation.

Considering the fact that nowadays eCommerce owners are fond of integrating inventory management software, accounting integration is the inseparable part of these platforms.
