United States invoice and tax rules at a glance
- The US has no federal sales tax; 45 states and Washington, D.C. levy a statewide sales tax, and many localities add their own.
- Since the 2018 South Dakota v. Wayfair ruling, states can require out-of-state sellers to collect tax once they pass an economic-nexus threshold.
- Services are taxed differently from goods in many states; check your state's rules for the services you bill.
