Sales tax is a state and local tax imposed on the sale of goods and certain services. Rates vary by state, county, and city.
You must collect sales tax if:
✔ Physical Presence (Nexus): You have an office, store, warehouse, or employees in a state.
✔ Economic Nexus: You meet sales/transaction thresholds (e.g., $100K+ in sales or 200+ transactions in some states).
✔ Taxable Items: You sell products or services classified as taxable in that state.
✔ Register for a sales tax permit in states where you have obligations.
✔ Collect the correct rate at checkout (tools like QuickBooks or TaxJar automate this).
✔ File returns on time (monthly, quarterly, or annually, based on state requirements).
