The world threw a lot at us in 2021: an unyielding pandemic, a volatile economy,
a broken supply chain, labor shortages, wildfires, and a blocked canal. Who
could have predicted all these events would impact tax? 

We don’t know if we’ll find everything we want on the shelves this year, but two
things are certain: Changes in tax will be widespread and businesses all over
the world will do what they do best — work tirelessly to thrive in spite of
uncertainty.  

The tax experts at Avalara have developed its most comprehensive report to date.
Here you’ll find everything from big changes in the U.S. to emerging
international trends. You’ll also get deep insights into key industries, such as
retail, manufacturing, software, among others. 

There’s a lot to take in, so bookmark this page and buckle up.





INTRODUCTION

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Never have individuals, businesses, and governments worldwide been so
interconnected and reliant on one another. A ship blocks a canal in Egypt and a
shelf can’t be restocked in Ohio. A COVID-19 outbreak in a factory in Vietnam
clogs ports in Los Angeles. Fires in California affect wine poured in Montreal.
A dearth of truck drivers empties gas pumps in Britain as a global labor
shortage stresses the world’s hospitality industry. The litany goes on.

Against this backdrop, and with an unpredictable virus hard on the heels,
businesses must navigate a complex web of regulations and requirements to be in
compliance, often across multiple states and countries. Governments worldwide
are mandating the digitization of invoicing and tax reporting to reduce the tax
gap; some are even working together to eliminate corporate tax advantages.
Compulsory transparency is forcing businesses to up their compliance game.

Government regulations can be difficult to track and understand during the best
of times, when there’s minimal geopolitical and commercial upheaval. In the
current environment, with the pace of change accelerating, it’s extremely
challenging for businesses of any size to keep up with adjustments to rates,
boundaries, deadlines, and overall tax compliance responsibilities.

Our sixth annual tax changes report is born of the wealth of knowledge held by
the tax compliance experts at Avalara. It surveys the key domestic and
international tax policy developments of the day and explores emerging trends in
taxation and compliance. Avalara is committed to ensuring tax compliance doesn’t
interfere with the growth or success of your business.





SALES TAX CHANGES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Like so many other aspects of daily life, sales and use tax compliance has been
affected by the pandemic. In fact, the top three risks to growth in 2022 are 1)
the pandemic, 2) supply chain disruptions (triggered by the pandemic), and 3)
inflation. Although most COVID-19 tax relief programs have concluded, the
pandemic is affecting sales and use tax in other ways: Clogged supply chains
have compelled businesses to seek new supply chains, which can lead to new tax
obligations; the astounding growth of ecommerce, sparked in part by a desire to
avoid stores, has pushed many businesses over economic nexus thresholds in
numerous states. Yet a recent survey found that many unregistered small
businesses with significant sales in other states believe themselves to be
compliant.

Digitalization is another interesting development in transaction tax compliance.
Tax officials in numerous countries are gaining access to underlying sales data
so they can ensure businesses collect and remit tax as required. Increasingly,
self-reporting tax is shifting to a system in which tax authorities must
validate invoices in real time or near-real time. Although the United States
isn’t leading these efforts, it’s watching the digitalization of tax reporting
in other countries with interest. In a step toward digitalization, tax
authorities in numerous states are mining data to identify good candidates for
audits.

GLOBAL TAX CHANGES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



Global ecommerce is expected to surpass $4.9 trillion in 2021 and continue
upward in 2022 and beyond. Unfortunately, the large volume of cross-border
shipments is straining a global supply chain already stressed by COVID-19. Given
the backlogs at customs, it’s more critical than ever to label cross-border
shipments with the proper Harmonized System (HS) code — and many of these are
changing effective January 2022.

2022 will also bring a greater push toward digitalizing tax compliance in many
countries, including the U.K., which is still smarting from Brexit. Already,
companies doing business in the EU and U.K. are adjusting to new collection and
reporting requirements resulting from ecommerce tax reform efforts, and everyone
is waiting to see what the new global minimum tax deal will bring. Meanwhile,
companies selling into North America are adjusting to the new NAFTA: The United
States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA).

INDUSTRY TAX CHANGES

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



No industry has escaped the pandemic unscathed, though COVID-19 has impacted
different industries in different ways. For close to two years, businesses able
to sell online for delivery or pickup have generally fared better than those
reliant on foot traffic. This has been particularly true for restaurants and
bars, which have benefited from new laws allowing delivery and takeout sales of
alcohol. At the same time, selling online and through marketplaces can
complicate sales tax compliance for retailers, restaurants, and beverage alcohol
sellers. 

Manufacturers plagued by labor and supply shortages must continue to properly
document exempt sales, claim tax credits, or navigate forays into direct sales.
Meanwhile, software and communications companies are dealing with the fact that
the pandemic has “accelerated digital transformations” and turned a spotlight on
how such sales are sourced and taxed. The tobacco and vape industry could
experience an increase in electronic filing enforcement in 2022, as well as a
move toward uniformity standards. In the energy sector, states will likely
continue to try to balance the need for cleaner vehicles with the need for fuel
tax revenue. And as the hospitality industry continues to deal with fallout from
travel restrictions, it could be buoyed by the fact that many of us will travel
whenever, wherever, and however we can.
