Your reasons for starting your own business can be as diverse as your personalities. Some of you could be seeking the autonomy of self-employment, a legacy to leave for family, control over the future, or a way to get your amazing offerings out there to the audiences.
However, one thing that would have never made to your list is: administrative hassles like sales tax. You don’t want to deal with that. We know it and clearly so.
Filing and remitting sales tax returns and payments is a budget-draining, time-consuming, and error-prone activity.
As state and federal governments shift their attention to netting more revenue from sales tax for online sales, many e-commerce businesses are being subjected to increasing scrutiny, and you are supposed to examine the impact Ecommerce sales tax may have on your business if you wish to expand into more states. As an Internet merchant, you need to understand your liabilities and responsibilities as you do business not just in your own state, but other states or countries as well. What we are experiencing is the Internet Tax Revolution and as an online retailer, you need to keep up.
Unfortunately no one can comprehensively define Nexus. Well, that’s not true however, it does differ a lot from state to state. Still, the plain concept is pretty well communicated by this statement:
“Nexus, also known as sufficient physical presence, is the determining factor of whether an out-of-state business selling products into a state is liable for collecting sales or use tax on sales into the state. Nexus is required before a taxing jurisdiction can impose its taxes on an entity.”
However, there are many more understated activities that could also activate sales tax nexus representing risk to your business:
• Soliciting sales by making sales representatives travel to another state
• Employees unveiling at trade shows
• perform service calls duties in states where they are not based
• An agent or affiliate relationship that promotes servicing or selling activities
• Maintaining inventory in a warehouse (for instance with Amazon’s FBA program)
