<h2>CSP-compensated seller</h2>

In the context of sales tax, a "CSP-compensated seller" typically refers to a type of vendor or seller who participates in a Certified Service Provider (CSP) program. 

Certified Service Providers are third-party companies that offer automated sales tax compliance solutions to businesses. These solutions help businesses calculate, collect, and remit sales tax accurately and efficiently.

CSP-compensated sellers are businesses that utilize the services of a Certified Service Provider to handle their sales tax compliance obligations. They compensate the CSP for their services, which may include automating tax calculations, filing tax returns, managing exemption certificates, and providing other compliance-related services.

The use of CSPs can help businesses streamline their sales tax processes, reduce the risk of errors, and ensure compliance with complex sales tax regulations across multiple jurisdictions.

SST CSP (Streamlined Sales Tax Certified Service Provider) compensated sellers typically do not qualify for free CSP services directly through the SST program itself. The SST program is designed to facilitate sales tax compliance and administration for sellers, particularly those operating in multiple states within the Streamlined Sales Tax (SST) member states.

Certified Service Providers (CSPs) are third-party companies that offer automated sales tax compliance solutions, including tax calculation, reporting, and filing services. While some CSPs may offer free basic services or trials to attract new clients, these offerings are generally not directly tied to the SST program.

However, sellers operating within SST member states may benefit from using CSPs to streamline their sales tax compliance efforts and ensure they are in compliance with SST requirements. CSPs can help businesses calculate, collect, and remit sales tax accurately across multiple jurisdictions, which can be particularly beneficial in states that are part of the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement.

CSP-compensated Seller means a Seller that meets all the following criteria:

• No fixed place of business for more than thirty (30) days in the Streamlined State
• Less than $50,000 of Property, less than $50,000 of Payroll, and less than 25% of its total Property or total Payroll
• Not collecting sales or use tax in the State
