What is nexus and why does it matter?
Determine which type of nexus you’ve triggered
What is economic nexus
Economic nexus is a connection to a state that is based entirely on sales volume into the state and creates an obligation to register and remit sales tax to that state.
Obligations can be triggered by having as little as $100,000 worth of sales in a state or making 200 individual transactions. These criteria are also called nexus thresholds. Thresholds vary by state and the requirements can be difficult to navigate.
What is physical nexus?
Physical presence in a state creates an obligation to register and remit sales tax to that state. Physical presence can include everything from having a retail storefront to renting or owning property, employing remote workers, and even storing property in a fulfillment center or a location owned by someone else.
Physical presence is one of the first things state tax auditors look for during an audit when determining whether you have a tax obligation.
