Demystifying the Impact of the Wayfair Decision on Sales Tax Collection and Filing

New “Post Wayfair Aftershocks” Article Series from Wolters Kluwer
Experts Provides Detailed Analysis of the Decision’s Key Implications

NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Today, Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting announces a new “Post
Wayfair Aftershocks”
article series that will look at new
developments resulting from the historic US Supreme Court Wayfair
decision and explore its key implications on those conducting business
in the United States.

In June 2018, the US Supreme Court announced its decision in the South
Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc.
case. This ruling overturned the 1992 Quill,
Corp. v. North Dakota
nexus holding that a company must have a
physical presence in a state before being held liable for the collection
and remission of sales and use taxes, as well as, the obligation to
register and file returns in that state.

“In the months since the decision, many states have moved to change
their definition of Economic Nexus, with most, if not all, expected to
enact and implement changes before the end of 2019,” said Mark
Friedlich, Senior Director, Global Content Assets, Wolters Kluwer Tax &
Accounting, North America. “Individual approaches by states and varied
start-collection dates will require businesses to navigate differing
sales and use tax obligations across more states than ever before.”

These obligations and business challenges include:

  • Requirements for businesses to register, keep records, as well as to
    collect and remit sales and use taxes in many states where firms lack
    a physical presence
  • Conditions not only in the retail online and brick-and-mortar sector,
    but in other sectors up and down the supply chain, including
    wholesale, manufacturing, and construction

Over the next couple of months, the Post Wayfair Aftershocks
series will examine many key aspects of the decision, ranging from how
it applies to new technologies and the taxation of cloud-based services
to nonretail exemption certificate management and the taxation of
cannabis products, just to name a few. Written by sales and use tax
experts from Wolters Kluwer Tax & Accounting, the articles will provide
the in-depth analysis and guidance that businesses and tax & accounting
professionals need to help them better navigate the increasingly complex
landscape and ensure compliance across jurisdictions where their
customers purchase goods and services.
