As soon as your business establishes nexus with a state, you become liable for sales tax payments to that state. 💰 State sales tax nexus can be established through several different means, including having a physical location, hiring employees, or meeting certain sales thresholds in a given state. All types of startups are affected, from those selling tangible and nontangible goods as well as services. Determining where you have nexus and figuring out how state laws apply to your offering is complicated. It’s not unusual for startup founders to be hit with a penalty fee or miss out on an important opportunity because they fell out of sales tax compliance without even knowing it. The best way to avoid being blindsided is to conduct a Nexus Study. Burkland’s team of startup tax experts can help.
