New Economic Nexus Laws

New Economic Nexus Laws Apply to ALL Retailers, Wholesalers, Distributors, and Manufacturers

Updated 6/12/2020

Economic nexus in the sales tax world has been a hot topic since the Supreme Court decision in the summer of 2018. States have issued new regulations, laws, and informational bulletins regarding the changing landscape of the impacts of economic nexus. At this point in time (June 12, 2020), there are 44 states that have some kind of economic nexus for sellers or marketplace facilitators with various thresholds for volume of sales and transactions as well as various dates of enactment (see dates in parenthesis).

Economic sales/use tax nexus is created if you have*:
