Topic Background:

Each year, states lose between $8 and $34 billion in sales tax revenue due to the history of rulings against states attempting to change the definition of nexus from physical presence to economic nexus. On 6/21/18, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in Wayfair, Inc. v. N.D, that, in the granddaddy of all nexus cases, the National Bellas Hess Case of 1967, the USSC got it wrong. In so doing, they opened the door for states to force out-of-state sellers with no physical presence in their state to register, collect and remit sales tax simply because they have customers in their states. Join us to gain valuable insight into the complex issues of interstate sales and the obligations of out-of-state (foreign) sellers to collect the destination state’s taxes in light of this new ruling.
