Sales Tax Nexus: What Startup Founders Need To Know About Each State's Rules

Most of us know what sales tax is, and unless you’re from one of the handful of states without sales tax you’ve almost certainly paid sales tax before. Sales tax rates range between 0% and about 10%, with some municipalities tacking on nominal local taxes of their own.

Simple enough, right? For individuals, yes. For retailers… not so fast: there is a lot of confusion over when a company is liable for paying sales tax to a state.

Generally speaking, your company needs to remit sales tax to a state (usually its Department of Revenue) when you have presence, or nexus, with that state. In the tax rules, this is referred to as the “sales tax nexus.” However, what types and levels of commercial activity trigger sales tax nexus?

Traditionally, you create a sales tax nexus when you are physically present in the state. This is typically referred to as “physical presence” or “physical nexus”. There is physical presence in the state if you have a store or sales representatives in the state. If you have a warehouse in the state but no physical storefronts, you likely have a sales tax nexus with the state through physical presence. In some states, if you sell physical products into the state, that may create a physical nexus for sales tax purposes.

The issue with physical nexus is that it does not capture the ever-increasing e-commerce sales, which are typically conducted by out-of-state businesses. This means that under the traditional standard, marketplace facilitators such as Amazon and eBay can dodge its sales tax collection and sales tax compliance responsibilities despite making millions of dollars of sales into the state. To solve this problem, the Supreme Court created a new sales tax nexus standard called “economic nexus” (sometimes also called “economic presence”).

Your company may have an economic nexus and is responsible for paying sales tax when it surpasses a certain level of business activity into the state, whether it’s a dollar amount or a certain number of transactions. These thresholds differ from state to state. However, most states use $100,000 or more in sales to the state or 200 or more online sales or in-person transactions within one calendar year as the sales threshold for economic nexus. (Continue reading for a state-by-state guide to economic nexus laws.)

Although the economic nexus was established in 2018 following the South Dakota v. Wayfair decision handed down by the U.S. Supreme Court, many states have also created laws prior to 2018 to capture e-commerce sales for sales tax purposes. These state tax laws typically came in the form of click-through nexus and affiliate nexus. Click-through nexus is essentially the same as economic nexus, except the amount of sales which trigger this status is much lower than economic nexus thresholds and affects more small businesses. Affiliate nexus happens when the seller has in-state representatives, employees, affiliates, or other entities in the state.

While click-through nexus and affiliate nexus were created earlier, economic nexus is the controlling nexus, other than physical nexus, when determining whether an out-of-state seller is responsible for remitting sales tax. This is because the Supreme Court made a ruling on the legality of economic nexus and click-through and affiliate nexus derive any relevant legality from economic nexus.

You may have heard the terms sales tax and use tax used interchangeably and that’s largely because the terms mean the same thing. Sales tax refers to out-of-state sellers who would create a nexus with the state through physical presence whereas use tax refers to remote sellers who are responsible for remitting sales tax based on economic nexus.
