Reach US_SALES_TAX_NEXUS readiness without rebuilding your policy programme
Following the US Supreme Court's 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair decision, US states can require sellers without physical nexus to collect + remit sales tax based on economic activity in the state (typically a revenue + transactions threshold). All 45 sales-tax states + DC have adopted economic-nexus rules with varying thresholds (typically $100k revenue or 200 transactions, but recent trends drop the transaction prong). Marketplace facilitator laws shift collection to platforms in many states. Compliance complexity is significant: ~46 jurisdictions with different rules, rates + filing cadences. Quick Policy maps US_SALES_TAX_NEXUS into the policy families, controls, and evidence your team needs — and keeps it current between audits.
