North & Pine Goods: sales tax in 30 states, sorted

An online home goods shop crossed sales tax thresholds in states it had never heard from. We registered it everywhere it owed and automated the filings.

The situation

Jessica’s Shopify store grew fast during 2022. She collected Colorado sales tax, but she had passed the economic nexus thresholds in 29 other states without knowing it, and her inventory never matched her books.

North & Pine ships about 1,400 orders a month from a studio on Fifth Street.

What we did

First we measured the problem, then fixed it state by state.

  • Ran a nexus study to find every state where she owed and how much.
  • Registered in each state and filed voluntary disclosure where it limited back tax and penalties.
  • Connected Shopify, Amazon and her payment processors to the books with automated sales tax filing.
  • Started monthly inventory reconciliation and cost of goods tracking by product line.

The results

North & Pine now files in 30 states without anyone touching a spreadsheet. Voluntary disclosure kept back taxes to a manageable amount with no penalties, and Jessica gets about 11 hours a month back.

“I was scared to even look at sales tax. Quantro found every state, fixed the past and set it up so I never think about it.”
