U.S. sales tax for eCommerce & product businesses

Hi, I’m Laura Outlaw

 
 

Work with me

 

Sales tax gets complicated quickly as businesses grow across states. I help simplify that complexity, identify what matters, and put a clear plan in place so you can move forward with confidence.

 

1

Nexus & Exposure Assessment

This is typically the starting point — a fixed-fee review to understand your sales tax exposure and next steps.

Includes:

  • State-by-state nexus analysis

  • Identification of registration requirements

  • High-level exposure overview

  • Clear, practical action plan

This is a simple way to get clarity before committing to a larger scope of work.

Exposure Cleanup & VDAs

If your business has historical exposure, I help you get compliant efficiently and minimize penalties where possible.

Includes:

  • Back filings across multiple states

  • Voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs)

  • Amnesty program support

  • Coordination with state tax authorities

3

Ongoing Filings & Compliance

Ongoing support to ensure your sales tax filings are accurate and up to date.

Includes:

  • Sales tax filings

  • Sales tax reconciliations

  • Monitoring nexus as your business grows

  • Coordination with platforms like Shopify and marketplaces, as well as sales tax softwares such as Avalara and TaxJar

Support for more complex sales tax situations.

About me

I specialize in U.S. sales tax for eCommerce and product-based businesses.

My work is focused on helping companies get compliant, reduce historical exposure, and build a clear, sustainable approach to managing sales tax as they grow. I’ve worked with multi-state businesses and international sellers navigating the complexity of U.S. sales tax, and I understand how quickly things can become unclear as companies scale.

As an independent sales tax consultant, I’ve been working with eCommerce businesses since 2018. I recently earned my Master’s degree in Accounting and Finance, with my dissertation focused on U.S. sales tax compliance for small businesses. Prior to launching Sales Tax Outlaw, I gained experience working at EY and Amazon.

My approach is practical and straightforward. I focus on identifying the issues, prioritizing what matters, and helping you move forward with clarity. I work closely with founders, operators, and finance teams to make sales tax manageable and integrated into how the business runs, rather than something reactive or overwhelming.
