Navigating Sales Tax Nexus and Taxability: Avoiding Hidden Risks in Business Expansion

  • Sales tax nexus is the connection a business has with a tax jurisdiction, triggered by physical presence or economic activity (e.g., $100,000 in revenue or 200 transactions in a state).
  • Many finance professionals are anxious about economic nexus and confused by the taxability of their products/services due to changing state rules.
  • To determine nexus, businesses should assess where their customers are, understand state-specific thresholds, and monitor business growth that could trigger nexus.
  • Key questions to assess nexus risk include business expansion into new states, hiring employees in new locations, new products/services, and any state tax inquiries or audits.
  • Taxability rules, especially for software and digital goods, vary by state and can be complex; tangible goods are generally taxable, while services and digital products may have different rules.
