Frequently Asked Questions

What is nexus? +

Nexus is the qualifying criteria for a seller to be required to collect and pay taxes on sales in a state. It establishes the connection between a taxing jurisdiction and a business, though definitions vary by state.

What is South Dakota vs. Wayfair, Inc.? +

South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. (2018) is a US Supreme Court decision that allows states to require out-of-state sellers to collect and remit sales tax even without a physical presence in the state.

What is a marketplace facilitator law? +

A marketplace facilitator law mandates online marketplace platforms (e.g., Amazon, Etsy, eBay) to collect and remit sales tax for sellers using their services.

Which states impose sales tax or use tax? +

All 50 states impose sales tax, with varying rules and thresholds. States individually determine tax obligations based on economic nexus, physical presence, and product taxability.

What is the difference between sales tax and use tax? +

Sales tax is collected by the seller at the point of sale. Use tax is the buyer's obligation to pay tax on untaxed out-of-state purchases used in a taxing state.

Do I need a separate sales tax license for each state? +

Yes, each state has its own sales tax system and requires separate registration and licensing for businesses with nexus in that state.

How often do sales tax laws change, and how do I stay updated? +

Sales tax laws frequently change, especially since the Wayfair decision. States adjust thresholds, taxability rules, and filing requirements regularly. Continuous monitoring and professional guidance are essential.

Did physical nexus go away with Wayfair? +

No, physical nexus remains enforceable. Physical presence, such as employees, inventory, or trade show attendance, can still create nexus regardless of economic nexus rules.
