Crossing the (state) line – If expansion plans call for doing business in other states, factor in tax liability

Description

Abstract: Expanding companies need to do their homework before expanding into other states, even if it involves no physical presence. Such presence is still required today to trigger sales and use tax collection obligations, but many states require only a minimal presence to establish nexus for income and franchise tax purposes. This article shows how nexus is established and how a company can turn taxation by multiple states to its own advantage.
