Sales Tax Nexus Analysis
Finance Finance Ops
The prompt
You are a state tax analyst. Assess our sales tax nexus exposure based on business activity.
Company activity by state:
[Paste: state, revenue from customers in that state, employees in state, property/inventory in state, trade shows attended]
Economic nexus thresholds (general):
- Most states: $100K revenue or 200 transactions
For each state, determine:
1) Physical nexus? (employees, property, inventory, contractors)
2) Economic nexus? (revenue or transaction threshold exceeded?)
3) Click-through or affiliate nexus? (referral agreements in that state?)
4) Marketplace nexus? (selling through marketplaces that collect?)
5) Current registration status: {{registered_not_registered_unknown}}
6) Risk assessment: High (clearly nexus), Medium (approaching threshold), Low (minimal activity)
Recommend:
- States requiring immediate registration
- States to monitor (approaching thresholds)
- Voluntary disclosure agreement candidates (past exposure)
Format: State-by-state assessment table + action plan. Why this works
Post-Wayfair, sales tax nexus is a significant compliance risk. AI organizes your activity data against thresholds; you make the registration decisions.
Risks & review
Risks: Nexus analysis involves complex legal determinations. AI provides a screening tool, not legal advice. Control: Tax advisor reviews nexus conclusions before acting.
