Sales Tax Nexus Analysis

销售税关联分析

Overview

概述

Analyzes your revenue and transaction volume by state to determine where you have economic nexus and are required to collect and remit sales tax. After the 2018 Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, most states impose sales tax obligations on remote sellers exceeding certain thresholds.
按州分析您的收入和交易量，确定您在哪些州存在经济关联，需要征收并代缴销售税。自2018年最高法院对South Dakota v. Wayfair案作出裁决后，大多数州对超过特定阈值的远程卖家施加销售税纳税义务。

Workflow

工作流程

  1. Use 
    transaction_search
    to pull all revenue (income) transactions for the current or prior calendar year.
  2. Group revenue by customer state (based on transaction descriptions, merchant data, or notes).
  3. Use 
    spending_summary
    to total revenue and count transactions per state.
  4. Compare each state's totals against that state's economic nexus thresholds.
  5. Flag any state where you exceed the threshold -- you likely have a collection obligation.
  6. Use 
    export_transactions
    to generate a report for your tax advisor or sales tax software.
  1. 使用
    transaction_search
    提取当前或上一自然年的所有收入交易记录。
  2. 根据交易描述、商户数据或备注，按客户所在州对收入进行分组。
  3. 使用
    spending_summary
    统计各州的总收入和交易数量。
  4. 将各州的统计数据与该州的经济关联阈值进行对比。
  5. 标记任何超出阈值的州——您可能需要承担销售税征收义务。
  6. 使用
    export_transactions
    生成报告，提交给税务顾问或销售税软件。

Common Economic Nexus Thresholds

常见经济关联阈值

Most states use one or both of these triggers (exceed either to create nexus):
Threshold TypeMost Common LevelNotes
Revenue$100,000 in salesSome states use $500K (CA, NY, TX)
Transactions200 transactionsNot all states use a transaction count
States with no sales tax: AK (no state tax, but local taxes exist), DE, MT, NH, OR.
Notable exceptions to the $100K / 200 threshold:
  • California: $500,000 revenue only (no transaction count)
  • New York: $500,000 revenue AND 100 transactions (must meet both)
  • Texas: $500,000 revenue only
大多数州采用以下一项或两项触发条件（满足任意一项即构成关联）：
阈值类型最常见标准说明
收入销售额达100,000美元部分州采用50万美元标准（CA、NY、TX）
交易量200笔交易并非所有州都采用交易量标准
无销售税的州： AK（无州税，但存在地方税）、DE、MT、NH、OR。
$10万/200笔阈值的显著例外：
  • California：仅需收入达50万美元（无交易量要求）
  • New York：收入达50万美元 且 交易量达100笔（需同时满足）
  • Texas：仅需收入达50万美元

Key Dates

关键日期

  • Nexus is typically measured on a rolling 12-month or prior calendar year basis.
  • Once nexus is established, you must register, collect, and remit until you fall below the threshold for a specified period (varies by state).
  • 关联状态通常按滚动12个月或上一自然年为周期计算。
  • 一旦确立关联状态，您必须完成注册、征收并代缴销售税，直至连续一段时期内低于阈值（具体时长因州而异）。

Without Wilson

未使用Wilson的情况

  1. Export all revenue transactions from your payment processor (Stripe, PayPal, Shopify, etc.).
  2. Add a "Customer State" column based on shipping address or billing address.
  3. Create a pivot table: State vs. Sum of Revenue and Count of Transactions.
  4. Download the current nexus threshold table from your state's Department of Revenue or a resource like the Sales Tax Institute.
  5. Compare each state's revenue and transaction count to the threshold.
  6. For any state where you exceed the threshold, register for a sales tax permit and begin collecting.
  7. Consider using automated sales tax software (e.g., TaxJar, Avalara) if you have nexus in multiple states.
  1. 从支付处理器（Stripe、PayPal、Shopify等）导出所有收入交易记录。
  2. 根据收货地址或账单地址添加“客户所在州”列。
  3. 创建数据透视表：按州统计收入总和与交易数量。
  4. 从州税务局或Sales Tax Institute等资源下载最新的关联阈值表。
  5. 将各州的收入和交易量与阈值进行对比。
  6. 对于任何超出阈值的州，注册销售税许可证并开始征收销售税。
  7. 如果您在多个州存在关联，可考虑使用自动化销售税软件（如TaxJar、Avalara）。

Important Notes

重要说明

  • Physical presence (office, warehouse, employee, inventory) still creates nexus regardless of revenue thresholds.
  • SaaS and digital goods have different taxability rules by state. Some states tax them, others do not.
  • Marketplace facilitators (Amazon, Etsy, eBay) typically collect and remit sales tax on your behalf for sales through their platforms. Those sales may still count toward your nexus threshold in some states.
  • Filing frequency (monthly, quarterly, annually) depends on the state and your volume.
  • Penalties for not collecting sales tax can include back taxes, interest, and fines. Some states offer voluntary disclosure agreements (VDAs) to limit lookback periods.
  • This is not tax advice. Consult a CPA or tax professional for filing decisions.
  • 实体存在（办公室、仓库、员工、库存）仍会构成关联，不受收入阈值影响。
  • SaaS和数字商品的应税规则因州而异，部分州征税，部分州不征税。
  • 平台服务商（Amazon、Etsy、eBay）通常会代表您征收并代缴其平台上销售产生的销售税，但这些销售额在部分州仍可能计入您的关联阈值。
  • 申报频率（月度、季度、年度）取决于州规定和您的业务量。
  • 未征收销售税可能面临补缴税款、利息和罚款。部分州提供自愿披露协议（VDA）以限制追溯期限。
  • 本文不构成税务建议。申报决策请咨询注册会计师或税务专业人士。
