Nexus by State 2024

Nexus by State 2024

In the United States, merchants—including online merchants who have no physical storefronts—must collect state sales taxes once their sales reach a certain dollar amount in that state. Nexus laws establish the requirements and guidelines for this scenario. Nexus laws and sales thresholds vary significantly from one state to the next.

As the list also illuminates, there are different nexus thresholds for different states. $100,000 is the limit for most states that have a Nexus threshold. New York, Texas, and California have the highest Nexus limits, with each state setting its threshold at $500,000. Again, if a business is doing well enough to consider Nexus thresholds, then it is fair to say that it is probably a good problem to have.
