Understanding Economic Nexus: Sales Tax Compliance for Online and Multichannel Businesses After Wayfair

  • Since the 2018 Supreme Court case South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., most states have adopted economic nexus laws for sales tax.
  • Economic nexus means a business must collect sales tax if it exceeds certain sales or transaction thresholds in a state, even without physical presence.
  • Thresholds commonly include $100,000 in annual sales or 200 transactions, but requirements vary by state and sometimes by local jurisdiction.
  • Failing to comply with sales tax obligations can result in fines, legal trouble, and reputational damage.
  • Economic nexus is not retroactive; businesses must comply once thresholds are met.
