Navigating Sales and Use Tax Nexus: Physical vs. Economic Criteria for Compliance and Operations

Nexus refers to the connection between a business and a state that justifies tax obligations
Physical nexus is based on tangible presence in a state, such as office locations, employees, inventory, property, and sales representatives
Economic nexus is based on economic activity within a state, regardless of physical presence
Economic nexus criteria include sales revenue thresholds and transaction volume thresholds
Companies must understand state-specific regulations, use technology and software, and conduct regular audits to meet nexus obligations
