STC provides merchants with everything they need to navigate the complicated landscape of collecting and remitting sales and use taxes in over 7,000 states, counties, and cities.

Tax Rate Calculation—STC offers two forms of sales tax calculations:

• Manual—Subscribing merchants may use either our online calculator or our desktop calculator to calculate sales tax rates and amounts.  The basic subscription rate is $5/month and covers up to 100 calculations per month.  Expanded subscription levels are also available for $10, $25, or $75 per month for up to 5,000 calculations per month.
• Automated—Merchants wanting to perform more than a few calculations will want to integrate our TaxCalc software module that will connect their business system directly to our servers to calculate rates automatically.  The software costs $1,250 and requires a monthly subscription, which starts at $25 per month for up to 1000 calculations per month.  Expanded subscription levels can also be arranged if needed.

Any subscription includes a 30-day free trial period, which is achieved by clicking on Signup to the left.  The unused portion of any subscription fee can be refunded by contacting support@theSTC.com.

Sales Tax Licensing—One of the compliance services that STC performs for the merchant is to license them in every municipality where their sales may go--merchants are required to be licensed in any municipality for which they will collect and remit sales taxes.  STC will do all that for you!  Just give us your EIN and we will do all the paperwork.  If you're already licensed somewhere, just give us your existing license information and we'll still take care of all the rest.

Tax Filing and Remitting—STC will collate all of a merchant's transactions to determine how much must be remitted to each of the 7,000 different tax authorities.  STC then remits the collected taxes by transferring funds from the merchant and to the tax authorities, as well as filing the appropriate forms, all on behalf of the merchant.  The merchant may log onto our secure website anytime to review transactions and transfers, past or pending.

All compliance activities, from licensing to filing and remitting, are performed by STC on behalf of the merchant.  The fee for these services is 3% of the collected taxes.   The amount of taxes collected plus the transaction fee is debited from the merchant's account within 48 hours of the posted transactions.
