Sales tax nexus refers to the connection your business has with a state that requires you to collect and remit sales tax. This is typically established through physical presence, such as having employees, inventory, or affiliates in the state, or through economic activity like sales volume thresholds. Understanding and monitoring your nexus is crucial to avoid penalties and stay compliant.

Firstbase provides continuous monitoring of your sales activity across states to track thresholds and nexus requirements. We offer real-time updates so you always know when action is needed to stay compliant.
