Sales Tax Collection Services: for Businesses
Overview Steps
For businesses that are already registered with a community, Sales Tax Collection Service (STCS) will create their account in the filing platform.
STCS will send a letter to notify the business of the switch to the online filing platform that will include the portal account number and portal activation code. Notifications are sent via the electronic filing platform to the user email on the account. An email user account can be connected to multiple businesses and a business can have multiple email users.
