Multi-State Tax Commission Weighs in on Nexus

 

The MTC has released a number of discussion drafts of possible nexus guidelines covering the sales and use tax collection obligation functions of out-of-state vendors.

The MTC nexus guideline emphasizes the need to avoid any physical presence in the taxing state, including physical presence through independent contractors and agents acting on the out-of-state vendor’s behalf, in order not to be saddled with the use tax collection obligation. According to the MTC discussion drafts, the several activities may create nexus for remote internet or electronic commerce sellers, including, ownership, lease, use, or maintenance of computer terminals available for access in the taxing jurisdiction; and licensing of proprietary software in the taxing jurisdiction that facilitates use of the on-line service; among others. This white paper reviews the MTC proposed model affiliate sales tax nexus provision, as well as federal Internet tax legislation.
