What is Nexus?
Sales tax nexus is the connection between a seller and a state that requires the seller to register then collect and remit sales tax in the state. In Brand, where you declare nexus will determine which orders have sales tax added.
(Brand Customers are encouraged to follow state tax laws and set nexus locations.)
Here are some examples of how this could work:
- If you declare nexus in California, Brand will apply sales tax to orders shipped to California. However, Brand will not apply sales tax to orders shipped anywhere else.
- If you declare nexus in New York, Arizona, and Washington, Brand will apply Sales tax to orders shipped to all three of these states. However, Brand will not apply sales tax to orders shipped anywhere else.
- If you do NOT add nexus, Brand will not apply sales tax to any orders.
