Guide To Sales Tax Nexus

February 10, 2020 by Wayne Schulz

Avalara has just published a handy guide to determining whether your company might be subject to collecting state sales tax – commonly referred to as having Nexus in a particular state.

This 13-page guide covers the following topics:

– What is nexus
– What triggers nexus
– Times are changing
– How to keep up

Among the more noteworthy sections;

Sales tax nexus is the connection between a seller and a state that requires the seller to collect and remit tax on sales made in that state. If you have sales tax nexus in California and Texas, for example, you must register, collect, and remit sales tax in California and Texas. The concept of nexus is fairly easy to understand; the often-challenging part is determining what activities trigger nexus and staying on top of where your business has nexus.

It’s important to note that rules for sales tax nexus may not be the same as rules for income tax nexus. And states are changing their rules regularly so you want to keep on top of each state that you are transacting business to ensure you are complying with sales tax rules.

The most common way that we’ve seen companies come under closer scrutiny is when one of their customers undergoes an audit and the sales tax auditor uses that information to extend an inquiry out-of-state to see if any other companies should be required to charge sales tax.

It is important that you consult with your financial advisor / CPA about what sales tax rules may apply to your company since misapplying the rules could lead to an audit and tax assessment which is typically not easy ( or possible ) to collect from customers after-the-fact.

State Sales Tax Guides for North America 2019-2020

November 25, 2019 by Wayne Schulz

Sales tax service provider Avalara has created a comprehensive website showing sales tax rules for each state in the United States. 

You’ll notice some states are omitted, such as Delaware, Montana, Oregon, and New Hampshire. A fifth, Alaska, has no state-level sales tax but allows municipalities to impose the retail-level tax.

Sales Tax Quick Reference

There is also a quick reference download available for each state charging sales tax. This guide would be handy for distributing to accounting staff for a quick overview of filing dates and requirements.

Sage 100 Integrated Sales Tax

Users of Sage 100 and Sage 100cloud also have the option of incorporating sales tax processing directly into their Sage 100 system. The Avalara integration replaces the manually created sales tax codes and will compute and file sales tax returns to most states on your behalf.

Streamlined Sales Tax ( SST )

If you are making sales in multiple states and aren’t yet registered – here’s an additional option Avalara offers called Streamlined Sales Tax ( info below via their website ) .

Created in 1999, the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement is the result of a cooperative effort between state and local governments and the business community. The goal of SST is to simplify sales and use tax collection and administration for all sellers and all types of commerce by making sales tax administration requirements less burdensome. Participating states must simplify and centralize aspects of sales tax administration. For some companies, SST offers critical tools to help address ever-changing sales tax regulations. For others, the benefits of SST are less obvious.

The active members of SST are: Arkansas, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania,* Rhode Island, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah, Vermont, Washington, West Virginia, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.
