Each Tax Administration Practice is in the Library of Tax Administration Practices in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) as amended through December 21, 2021. See Appendix E of the SSUTA for additional explanations and examples related to the Tax Administration Practices".


"Tax Administration Practices" indicates which administrative practices the state follows and provides an explanation of the state's practice if it does not follow a listed practice.


To the extent possible under each state's laws, sellers and CSPs are relieved from tax liability to the member state and its local jurisdictions for having charged and collected the incorrect amount of sales and use tax resulting from the seller or certified service provider relying on erroneous data provided by the member state relative to the tax administration practices.


To the extent possible under each state's laws, sellers and CSPs are also relieved from tax liability to the member state and its local jurisdictions for having charged and collected the incorrect amount of sales and use tax until the first day of the calendar month that is at least 30 days after notice of a change to the state's "Taxability Matrix: Tax Administration Practice" is submitted to the governing board, provided the seller or CSP relied on the prior version of the Taxability Matrix.


As of June 2021 the Taxability Matrix was separated into two documents: Taxability Matrix: Library of Definitions (previously Section 1) and Taxability Matrix: Tax Administration Practices (previously Section 2).

Economic Nexus Laws / Regulations

See: Remote Seller State Guidance (streamlinedsalestax.org)

General Definition

For purposes of Disclosed Practice 8.1.a


"Remote Seller" is generally a seller that does not have any physical presence in a state (no property or employees) but who sells products or services for delivery into that state.

A remote seller includes a "marketplace seller" that does not have a physical presence in the state.

(Note: A state may allow a seller to have limited physical presence in the state and still treat the seller as a remote seller as provided in (A) and (B).)

(A)(1) Inventory Controlled by 3rd Party

(A) (1) The State still treats a seller as a "Remote Seller" if the seller’s only physical presence in the state is inventory owned by that seller that is in a third party’s warehouse which the seller does not control (e.g., Marketplace Facilitator/Provider controls the movement of inventory). (Note, the exception in (A)(2) and/or (B) may also apply.)

(B) Employees

(B) The State still treats a seller as a “Remote Seller” if the seller’s only physical presence in the state is an employee that is not involved in making sales. If for purposes of Disclosed Practice 8.1.(B) the State distinguishes between retail and wholesale sales, the State will indicate it in the Comment column.
