South Dakota v. Wayfair is the most important sales tax court case in decades. The case – and the impact of the court’s decision – is so significant that it made its way all the way up to the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued its historic decision on June 21, 2018.
Why is it so important? South Dakota v. Wayfair addresses sales tax questions that have been plaguing state and federal governments for years. The U.S. Supreme Court’s decision affects how nexus applies to remote sellers, such as internet retailers and online marketplace sellers. But it also applies to any business that sells to customers remotely – without visiting them for any reason. The previous standard for determining nexus didn’t account for these types of sales and the recent decision has overturned it, which means big changes are in store for remote sellers.
In this webinar, Diane Yetter will walk you through the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, explaining the case’s impact and the implications for sellers throughout the United States. If you make online sales, remote sales of any kind or sell into multiple states, this webinar will provide you with essential information on the path forward regarding nexus.
