This webinar will address the latest state sales tax strategies, thresholds, and compliance obligations in response to the U.S. Supreme Court condoning a state's right to collect tax on remote sellers in South Dakota v. Wayfair Inc.

Description

Missouri, the last holdout state with sales tax to allow local governments to collect sales tax on online purchases, will implement new economic nexus standards in 2023. State economic nexus thresholds, or Wayfair thresholds, have been relatively static for years since extensive state legislative changes in the first year after the ruling.

Today, business taxpayers are conscious of these obligations and exceed Wayfair's nexus thresholds in various jurisdictions. In addition to the sales tax obligations, businesses may also have physical presence nexus and other tax obligations. Remote workforces can trigger nexus, making marrying a taxpayer's sales and income tax obligations necessary. For noncompliant taxpayers, remediation strategies should be a focus.

Sales tax is not simply a Wayfair issue, and taxpayers are often less aware of other nexus triggers. Wayfair is not just a prospective issue; clients may have arrearage issues to pursue. Even small sellers value sales tax software to tackle ongoing sales tax administration.

Listen as our panel of sales tax experts explains what triggers nexus, the interplay of income and sales tax, and managing sales tax audits post-Wayfair.
