The U.S. Supreme Court ruling in June of 2018 regarding sales tax nexus standards created a new source of significant revenue for 45 states. We cautioned at that time that states would take advantage of this opportunity quickly. Indeed, many states have already adopted new sales tax nexus standards, most using South Dakota’s threshold of $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions.
However, Texas and New York recently adopted sales tax nexus standards (Texas’ to begin 10/1/19 and New York’s was effective immediately) that use different thresholds.
Below is a listing of states with their sales tax nexus standards. We will update this list as new states issue guidance. It is also available as a printable PDF by clicking the PDF icon at the top left of this article.
Our advice to readers in June remains the same and is underscored by the mix of thresholds and effective dates you’ll see in the table. It is still important that you:
