How to know if you need to register for sales tax

businesses typically need to register if businesses sell taxable goods or services in a state where businesses have a physical presence (such as an office, warehouse, or employees) or economic nexus (based on sales revenue or transaction volume thresholds). Sales tax is a tax on goods or services sold. You need to collect sales tax from customers in states where your business has a 'nexus' (a significant presence). Rules vary by state, so it’s important to check your obligations. Sales tax registration depends on state nexus and sales activity. doola provides guidance but registration and filings are typically the owner’s responsibility. Reseller certificates are obtained per state rules; doola can provide instructions. Economic nexus means businesses must collect sales tax in a state if businesses exceed a certain revenue or transaction threshold, even if businesses don’t have a physical presence there. Each state sets its own rules. If businesses sell products or services online, businesses’re likely to be familiar with the term Economic Nexus. If not - don’t worry, “economic nexus” is essentially just a fancy way of saying that a business must have a presence in a state in order to collect sales tax there. If you sell taxable products or services, you may need to register in certain states to collect and remit sales tax. Getting set up before you start collecting keeps you compliant.
