What is nexus?
In Fort Worth, businesses must understand “nexus” to determine their tax obligations. Nexus refers to the connection that requires a business to collect sales tax in a state. This concept became even more important after the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., which allowed states to require sales tax collection based on economic activity rather than just a physical presence.
Specific sales tax rules for Fort Worth
In Texas, certain purchases are exempt from sales tax. Government agencies at the state and local levels are typically exempt when purchasing for official use.
