What to do when you cross a threshold
- 01
Register
Apply for a sales tax permit with that state's revenue department. Many states accept remote sellers through the Streamlined Sales Tax registration.
- 02
Collect
Turn on tax collection for that state in Shopify, WooCommerce or your checkout. Rates vary by destination address, so let the platform calculate them.
- 03
File
File returns monthly, quarterly or annually as the state assigns, including nil returns in months with no sales.
Selling into the US? Do it as a US company
A US LLC gives you the federal tax number and US bank account state registrations ask for. Formation is $399 with all state fees included.
Frequently asked questions
What is economic nexus?
Since the Supreme Court’s 2018 Wayfair decision, a state can require a seller with no physical presence there to register and collect its sales tax once the seller’s sales into the state pass a threshold. That threshold is economic nexus. Every state with a sales tax now has one.
What are the economic nexus thresholds?
Most states use $100,000 of sales in the current or previous year. California, New York, Texas use $500,000 (New York also needs 100 transactions), and Alabama and Mississippi use $250,000. 17 states still count 200 or more transactions as an alternative trigger.
Do marketplace sales count toward nexus?
In most states marketplace facilitators such as Amazon, Etsy and eBay collect and remit the tax on sales made through them, and many states exclude those sales from the seller’s threshold, but some still count them. Sales through your own store (Shopify, WooCommerce) always count. Check each state you are close to.
What happens when I cross a threshold?
You must register for a sales tax permit in that state, usually within a set period, start collecting tax on taxable sales to customers there, and file returns on the schedule the state assigns. Collecting is your obligation from the date you cross, so register promptly.
Does a non-US seller have to collect US sales tax?
Yes, the thresholds apply to remote sellers wherever they are based. A foreign seller selling directly to US customers through its own website can cross them and owe registration in those states, separately from any federal tax position.
Which states have no sales tax?
Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, Oregon have no statewide sales tax. Alaska has none at state level but local jurisdictions do, collected through a remote-seller commission with its own $100,000 threshold.
