Which Activities Create State Tax Issues?

Multi-State Tax Consulting

 

In this day and age, nearly every company conducts business across state lines. Are you aware of all the additional taxes and fees you may be liable for?

We assist companies with state sales tax and income tax matters. As companies expand their operations and send salespeople across the country, or sell to consumers in other states via the internet, they create into nexus (or taxable presence) and have to think about filing in other states. That’s where Miles Consulting Group comes in.

We help companies answer questions on multi-state tax compliance:

  • Where do you have nexus creating activities?
  • What are the rules? What are next steps?
  • When was nexus created? When should you begin filing?
  • How much retroactive exposure has been created? Can we help you reduce it?

As state tax rules change, we help our clients address these questions by bridging the gap between your business and complex state tax laws.

We are often asked these three questions:

  1.  Why Is A Nexus Review Important?
  2.  Which Activities Cause State Tax Issues?
  3. Multi-State Tax Consulting

Explaining Nexus Threshold By State

Understanding the intricate web of sales tax nexus thresholds is key for businesses navigating the complexities of state taxation laws. As the digital age continues to reshape traditional business models, the concept of nexus—the connection between a business and a taxing jurisdiction—has become a focal point in determining tax obligations. Nexus can be created by physical presence (i.e.; employees or contractors in a state, an office, or inventory) or economic .

The table below aims to shed light on the diverse nexus thresholds established by individual states across the United States when determining economic nexus for sales tax. Each state presents its own set of criteria that trigger nexus for sales, income, and other tax purposes. By delineating these thresholds, businesses can proactively strategize their operations to ensure compliance and mitigate potential liabilities.

As a business operating in one, or many, of these states, its truly vital that you have clear knowledge of their tax regulations and nexus thresholds.

Things can get a little messy in these matters, so consult the below table, consider your individual fact pattern and then come to Miles Consulting  – we’ll help you understand your unique tax challenges, whatever state you’re in. Our professionals can help with sales tax compliance (filing returns when and where you need to), retroactive remediation, merger and acquisition due diligence, and audit support, among others.

We start most conversations with clients by talking about nexus because that determination is the starting point of a relationship with a state and its taxing authority. Once nexus is established, a company has an obligation to then determine if its products and services sold to customers in that state are subject to sales tax, whether there are relevant exemptions, and then their requirements to file sales tax returns. Nexus is just the first step in the process of becoming compliant.
