DALE’s S.A.L.T. professionals understand how significantly state and local taxes can affect a company’s bottom line—and how proper planning can reduce exposure created through nexus. As states seek new revenue sources and strengthen enforcement efforts, staying compliant is critical. Penalties and fines can escalate quickly, so we work proactively to help protect our clients.

For businesses operating in multiple jurisdictions, keeping up with diverse and ever-changing state statutes and local tax laws can feel overwhelming. Regulations vary widely from state to state, and both tax rules and trade requirements evolve rapidly. Whether you’re expanding, franchising, or entering new markets, it is essential to understand the nexus and tax exposure triggered by conducting business in additional locations. Remote-seller rules and evolving post-Wayfair standards continue to impact online and e-commerce operations.
