A Tax FAQ with Mary E. Vandenack.
As a generality, an out-of-state retailer is subject to collecting tax in another state if they have nexus with the state in which they are making a sale. The definition of nexus varies state to state so it’s really important that a business look at what nexus means in a particular state.
In addition, different states tax different types of things so you have to really understand the nature of the business to determine whether you’re going to be subject to sales tax in another state.
