This webinar will provide business tax advisers with thorough and up-to-date guidance on various states' responses to Wayfair. The panel will discuss the far-reaching impact Wayfair is having on not only sales tax but income tax and other state business taxes.

Description

Perhaps the most troubling development in state taxation post Wayfair is keeping up with each state's response to the Supreme Court decision. Over 40 states have adopted economic nexus, and at least 45 now have a sales tax with most of these taxing out-of-state sales.

States' efforts to kill Quill were successful, and the Supreme Court's holding in Quill v. North Dakota--that prevented states from requiring sales tax collection by a retailer without a “physical presence” in the state--was overturned. Taxpayer nexus in a state now requires no more than a sufficient “economic or virtual presence” in a state.

Economic thresholds and factor presence tests are increasingly common for sales tax, gross receipts taxes, and income taxes. The standards limit planning options and increase the complexity and likelihood of tax payment and filing requirements across multiple states. A significant number of states use the economic or factor presence tests, with other states imposing a market-based standard as a means of increasing tax revenues.

Listen as our expert panel provides a practical guide to the current state of nexus standards and key nexus developments in state taxation of nonresident corporate taxpayers and remote business activity.
