Income Tax

States are constantly evaluating and changing their apportionment factors and nexus standards for corporate income tax purposes. Due to economic hardships, many states are being aggressive in taxing out-of-state businesses for additional revenue. Out-of-state businesses engaged in multi-state operations need to be aware of their activities that create nexus in states where they conduct business.

Sales Tax

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled on South Dakota v. Wayfair, a decision that has brought significant change to long-established precedent relating to sales and use tax nexus standards. South Dakota v. Wayfair overturned the physical presence rule and replaced it with economic presence as a determining factor. Economic nexus occurs when a business has a certain amount of sales in dollars and/or transactions within another state. This means that states can now require sales tax collection on remote sales.
