FAQs
What does it mean to have nexus in a jurisdiction?
“Nexus” is the minimum connection required for a jurisdiction (state, city, or county) to impose a tax, such as income and sales taxes. Nexus can be established through physical presence (office, facility, or employees) or economic (sales or transaction volume) activities in a given jurisdiction.
Does the 2018 U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair affect my company?
Before Wayfair, a seller needed physical presence to trigger nexus in a state. Now, mere sales into a state can trigger economic nexus. For sales tax purposes, economic nexus threshold has been passed in every state that collects sales tax as of today. To learn more about this topic, read our article here.
What is the impact of not understanding our company’s state filing obligations?
Not understanding your company’s multistate filing obligations can increase the risk of non-compliance and increase the tax burden on the business. Non-compliance often results in penalties and interest. In the case of sales tax, it can additionally shift the tax burden from your customers to the business.
We’re thinking about selling the business. What multistate tax considerations should be evaluated?
You should consider:
- Where the company has nexus
- The jurisdictions where the company currently files income and/or sales tax returns
- The jurisdictions where the company has nexus but has not been filing the necessary income and/or sales returns
