Our risk assessment is based on information from Bloomberg BNA’s annual Survey of State Tax Departments, in which Bloomberg BNA asks an official from each state whether a particular activity performed within a state’s borders would, by itself, be sufficient to trigger income tax nexus and reporting and payment obligations. While the responses are generally indicative of each state’s policy, they should not be relied upon as legally binding policy statements.

For any additional services, such as a “Nexus Study,” or tax advice, a separate engagement letter will be provided, should you choose to proceed further with additional services from DS&B, Ltd. The information discussed during the Nexus Risk Review is of a general nature and based on authorities that are subject to change.
