US Tax & Accounting
Which US states you already owe tax in.
The United States has no single revenue agency: each state decides for itself when your activity creates a strong enough connection — nexus — to tax you. One employee, one warehouse, a certain volume of online sales can be enough, often with no one telling you.
What it covers
Nexus analysis
Mapping employees, locations, inventory, agents, property and sales flows to work out which states the company must already register and file in.
Economic nexus and online sales
The revenue and transaction thresholds that trigger obligations on remote sales, state by state, marketplaces included.
Cleaning up open positions
When the obligation was triggered some time ago, we look at voluntary disclosure programs that limit penalties and the number of years reachable.
Monitoring over time
Nexus moves with the business: we keep an eye on hires, new states and volumes, so we are the ones who spot the obligation, not a letter from the state.
Nexus is created without you noticing.
The most common case is also the most ordinary: a salesperson hired in another state, a third-party warehouse holding goods, a logistics provider moving stock. None of these events reaches the accounts with a label saying “from today you file here too.”
The letters come later, often years later, with penalties and interest calculated over the whole period. Checking the position while it is still small costs a fraction of fixing it afterwards.
