Why Sales Tax Becomes a Dealbreaker

Sales Tax Is Easy to Ignore—Until It Isn’t
SaaS founders are builders by nature—laser-focused on product development, customer acquisition, and scaling fast. But in the race to grow, tax compliance often takes a back seat. Many founders misunderstand or overlook nexus thresholds, unaware that simply having customers in certain states can trigger tax obligations. There’s also a common misconception that digital services are exempt from sales tax, when in reality, rules vary widely across states. This gap in understanding can quietly create a web of liabilities that only surface during investor due diligence—when it's often too late.

Founders, CFOs & Operators Enjoying Complete Peace of Mind
Yonda Tax has been amazing, and exactly what we needed as a small ecomm brand without dedicated accounting team or tax professionals. We were trying to do it all ourself using Avalara, and it was a true nightmare. We had so many problems at Avalara and getting meaningful helpl was impossible. Yonda is a white glove, hands on service where you get a dedicated rep who manages your account. I absolutely love it.

Working with Yonda Tax has been an absolute timesaver for my business. After dealing with a previous company that mishandled my sales tax filings and left me with a large bill. Gareth was incredibly knowledgeable and strategic. Yonda's pricing was significantly better than what I had been paying before. Their ability to simplify the entire process, integrate with Shopify, provide clear templates for manual uploads (like with TikTok Shop), and manage communications with different states has taken a huge administrative burden off my plate.
"We have been work with Yonda more than two and half years, the platform is quite straightforward and easy to use. This year they have upgrade their platform, you can easily find information on the portal. Their team is very helpful and work efficient. Compare to Avalara it is more cost effective and service is quite good."
"Made Sales Tax Easy for Me. As our Shopify brand grew we learned that we needed to start charging sales tax in various states. We have been using them for over a year now and cannot say enough good things. It has completely taken the stress of sales tax off my plate and it is priced competitively with SELF-SERVICE options like TaxJar. So there is basically no additional cost to have someone else do it for you."
"Yonda Tax has been a great experience. It has an easy set up and great customer service. Yonda has been a game changer for us and our business. Navigating the world of nexus taxes is not easy, with Yonda it's not time intensive or a financial burden. We have switched from other large softwares and have found a really good sweet spot with Yonda."
"Yonda is incredible! Their exceptional service and support make sales tax easy. Our account manager, Alondra, is always prompt and goes above and beyond. Highly recommend."
“Yonda handles it monthly and I've yet to have an issue with them, calculating, reporting, and remitting all applicable sales tax. They also let me know when we've crossed nexus in a new state, making it easy to stay on top of new taxes. They are responsive, easy to work with, and accurate."
