With the continued growth of the global economy, businesses face increasingly complex challenges in state and local taxation. US state regulations and rules evolve regularly, posing a major challenge. Interstate compliance obligations remain complex and often prevent companies from fulfilling their tax duties quickly and efficiently.
Sales and use taxes are taxes applied to the sale or use of goods and services in the United States. They are generally imposed by local authorities (states, counties or municipalities) and vary by jurisdiction. Sales and use tax rates may also change depending on the category of goods or services concerned.
As the global economy continues to expand, businesses face complex challenges related to state and local taxes.

Non-US sellers may be required to collect US sales tax, depending on several factors.
The obligation to collect sales tax is generally triggered by the existence of a tax nexus in a given US state. Nexus may arise from factors such as physical presence, economic activity or exceeding specific thresholds set by each state.
Non-US sellers can determine their sales tax nexus by reviewing their activities in each US state, taking into account elements such as physical presence (for example an office, employees or warehouses), inventory storage, sales volume or reaching the economic thresholds set by each state.
Thresholds and exemptions for sales tax collection differ from one state to another. Some states apply economic nexus thresholds based on turnover or the number of transactions. It is essential to check the precise rules of each state in which sales take place.
Registration rules differ by state. Non-US sellers are generally required to register with the tax authority of each state where they have nexus. This involves completing the relevant registration forms and providing the required information.
The frequency of filing sales tax returns is governed by the rules of each state. It may be monthly, quarterly or annual. States with higher sales volumes may require more frequent filings.
Yes, various software platforms and service providers exist that enable non-US sellers to automate tax calculations, file returns and manage overall US sales tax compliance.
Non-US sellers can claim a refund of sales tax paid on purchases intended for resale. Each state has its own rules and procedures for processing these refund claims.
Yes, special rules and considerations may apply to digital products or services offered by non-US sellers, including the application of sales tax to digital goods or services and the possible obligation to collect tax on digital downloads or subscriptions.
Penalties for non-compliance with US sales tax obligations differ from one state to another and may include fines, interest on unpaid amounts and other enforcement measures. Compliance with sales tax obligations is essential to avoid these potential sanctions.
