Sales-Tax Nexus for Small Brands: What You Actually Owe
If you sell through Amazon/Etsy/Shopify and your own site, you may have economic nexus in multiple states. Marketplaces often collect/remit for marketplace orders, but not for your own-site sales—and you may still need to register and file.
Quick checklist
- Economic nexus: Did you cross a state’s sales/revenue threshold (often $100k or 200 orders)?
- Marketplace vs. direct: Confirm which taxes the marketplace remits vs. what you must remit.
- Filing cadence: Some states require zero-return filings even when marketplaces remit everything.
- Exemption certificates: If you buy inventory wholesale, maintain updated certificates.
Low-stress setup
- Map states where you ship; mark thresholds hit.
- Register where needed; connect your carts (Shopify, Woo, etc.).
- Reconcile marketplace tax reports to your books monthly.
