What is Economic Nexus?
States now collect sales tax on taxable transactions from out-of-state sellers with no physical presence in the states if they have created an economic presence. This economic nexus is established when remote sellers meet each state’s thresholds for number of transactions in the state and/or sales into the state.
Nexus requirements differ by state. Keeping up with changing laws across multiple jurisdictions can be incredibly burdensome. Then comes the need to navigate each state’s unique registration process and sales tax compliance obligations.

Who Should Register for Sales Tax?
If your business establishes sales tax nexus in a specific state, and you are selling a taxable product or service, you must register with that state, then collect, report, and pay sales taxes on applicable products and services. Each state has different requirements for establishing sales tax nexus, and those requirements change frequently.
Additionally, be sure to address historical sales tax return filing issues before completing your registration.
Each state has a unique registration process and sales tax compliance obligations. To minimize sales tax exposure issues, understand the jurisdiction’s registration process, timeline, and requirements.
