Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2025: Sales Surge or Sales Tax Trap for Online Sellers?

  • Black Friday and Cyber Monday (BFCM) can push online sellers past state economic nexus thresholds, creating immediate sales tax obligations.
  • Economic nexus thresholds are typically $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, requiring sellers to register, collect, and remit sales tax.
  • Online sellers must prepare for 2025 by conducting pre-season nexus checks, automating sales-by-jurisdiction reporting, and monitoring thresholds in real time.
  • Marketplace sellers, those using multiple platforms, and sellers of digital goods face added complexity due to varying state rules.
  • BFCM offers major sales opportunities but also brings new tax compliance challenges and risks of audits and penalties.
