State & Local Tax Is All We Do
Nexus SALT Advisors was founded in 2013, and the ground shifted under every multi-state seller in 2018 when the Supreme Court's Wayfair decision let states tax businesses with no physical presence — just enough sales. Overnight, e-commerce brands, SaaS companies, and wholesalers found themselves owing sales tax in dozens of states they'd never visited, usually without knowing it. The exposure compounds silently until a state sends a bill or an audit notice.
We do state and local tax exclusively. In thirteen years we've run 1,000+ nexus studies and manage sales tax compliance across all 50 states for growing businesses. We tell you exactly where you have nexus, contain any back exposure through voluntary disclosure, register you where you owe, take over your filings entirely, and defend you if you're audited. It's the one area of tax where a specialist doesn't just save you money — it can save the business.

The SALT-Specialist Difference
Multi-state sales tax is a trap for generalists. It's the only thing we do.
We Find the Nexus
Physical presence, inventory, employees, and economic thresholds — we map exactly where you're on the hook, in every state.
We Contain the Damage
Discovered late? Voluntary disclosure agreements limit how far back a state can reach and often waive penalties entirely.
We Take Over Filing
Registration and ongoing returns in every state you owe — off your plate for good, accurate and on time every period.
We Win Audits
State sales tax auditors are aggressive. We know the rules better and routinely cut assessments by large margins.
Trusted by Multi-State Sellers
We sold online into 40 states and had no idea we'd triggered economic nexus almost everywhere. Nexus SALT ran a nexus study, registered us where we owed, and cleaned up the exposure before it became a disaster.
Post-Wayfair, our SaaS company suddenly owed sales tax in states we'd never set foot in. Nexus SALT untangled where our product was taxable, registered us, and now handles all our filings. Total peace of mind.
A state hit us with a sales tax audit and a scary number. Nexus SALT defended us, cut the assessment by 80%, and set up processes so it never happens again. Worth ten times the fee.
Sales tax across 30 states was eating our finance team alive. Nexus SALT took over registration, filing, and exemption certificates entirely. We got our time back and stopped worrying about compliance.
You Might Owe Sales Tax and Not Know It
Since the 2018 Wayfair decision, you can owe sales tax in a state without ever setting foot there — just by crossing that state's sales or transaction threshold. For a growing online business, that can mean nexus in twenty or thirty states, accruing silently. The businesses that get hurt aren't the ones that planned; they're the ones that found out from an audit notice years later, with penalties and interest stacked on top. A nexus study today tells you exactly where you stand — and lets you fix it cheaply, before a state finds you first.
- ✓Know your nexus in every state
- ✓Fix exposure before an audit finds it
- ✓Voluntary disclosure limits look-back
Frequently Asked Questions
What is sales tax nexus, and how do I know if I have it?
Nexus is the connection that requires you to collect and remit sales tax in a state. It's created by physical presence (an office, employees, or inventory — including in Amazon FBA warehouses) and, since the 2018 Wayfair decision, by economic activity — typically once your sales or transaction count into a state crosses that state's threshold. Most growing multi-state sellers have nexus in far more states than they realize. A nexus study tells you exactly where.
We sell online. Do we really owe sales tax in other states?
Very likely, yes. Economic nexus means you can owe sales tax in a state purely based on your sales volume there, with no physical presence at all. E-commerce brands and SaaS companies are the most commonly caught — and the exposure builds silently until a state notices. The good news is it's fixable, and much cheaper to fix proactively than after an audit.
We're behind in several states. Are we in trouble?
It's manageable if you act. Through Voluntary Disclosure Agreements, states typically limit how far back they'll look (often three to four years instead of indefinitely) and frequently waive penalties in exchange for coming forward. We quantify your exposure and use these programs to resolve it on the best possible terms — far better than waiting to be found.
Can you handle all our sales tax filings?
Yes — that's a core service. We register you in every state where you owe, then take over the monthly and quarterly filings, remittances, and exemption certificate management entirely. Your team stops spending time on sales tax and stops worrying about missed deadlines.
A state is auditing our sales tax. Can you help?
Absolutely, and time matters. We step in as your representative, manage the auditor, challenge overreaching assessments, and apply the exemptions and rules the auditor may have ignored. We routinely reduce proposed assessments substantially. Reach out as soon as you get a notice.
How are your fees structured?
A nexus study is a fixed-fee project. Ongoing registration and compliance are billed as a monthly service scoped to the number of states and your filing frequency. Audit defense is quoted per engagement. Everything is transparent up front, and your initial nexus review consultation is free.
