Before Rachel Harding became the global tax director at FastSpring, she spent two years on a mergers and acquisitions tax team.
And she often saw deals fall apart.
“I kid you not, nine times out of 10, when a SaaS acquisition fell apart, it was a sales tax issue,” she told me.
Tax non-compliance can unravel an acquisition or result in million-dollar price adjustments.
Another time tax non-compliance can cause major issues? When you’re preparing an IPO. “That stuff will get picked up 100% on due diligence, so you want to clean it up now.”
This episode contains insights into VAT, GST, and sales tax compliance for SaaS companies, including:
- Five countries that recently passed tax regulations that impact SaaS companies.
- How tax liabilities can vary for B2B and B2C purchases in different areas of the world.
- How the statute of limitations works differently in each state in the US — and how that could affect your business financially.
