Nexus.

A connection to a US state strong enough to create an obligation to collect its sales tax. It comes from physical presence, inventory, employees, trade shows — or from sales volume alone.

A connection to a US state strong enough to create an obligation to collect its sales tax. It comes from physical presence, inventory, employees, trade shows — or from sales volume alone.
