In 2018 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled against Wayfair in favor of the state of South Dakota regarding the state's right to collect sales tax on online purchases from a business without a physical presence in that state. This decision changed the existing status quo and has created a precedent for other states to collect sales tax from businesses without a physical presence in their state. The new laws vary from state to state and require all businesses (not just auction houses) to collect sales tax if they meet a given state's threshold for an economic nexus. An economic nexus is used in place of a physical presence in the state and can be met by either a total sales amount limit into that state or a total number of individual transactions into that state. Currently the Jackson Hole Art Auction has met the threshold for an economic nexus in the following states: Alabama, Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Idaho, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Wisconsin, Washington, and Wyoming. If the purchaser is shipping to any of these states, the Jackson Hole Art Auction is required by law to add the appropriate state and local sales tax to the purchaser's invoice. The following states do not currently have sales tax and/or applicable economic nexus laws, and as a result the Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from Alaska, Delaware, Montana, New Hampshire, or Oregon. Due to the variable nature of auction sales, and the small window in which they occur, the Jackson Hole Art Auction does not yet know if the states not listed above will require sales tax collection, as that will be determined by the total dollar amount sold into each state-which cannot be predicted. The Jackson Hole Art Auction will be tracking these totals live during the sale using tax software, and will strive to inform the purchaser at the time of invoicing if sales tax collection is required; however, it may be necessary to bill for sales tax post-sale if the threshold for an economic nexus in the purchaser's state is met after the purchaser has paid. Even if the Jackson Hole Art Auction is not required to collect sales tax from the purchaser's state, unless exempted by law, the purchaser will be required to pay all applicable state and local sales, gross receipts, and compensation tax per the terms and conditions. If the purchaser has a valid resale certificate, the purchaser will not be required to pay sales tax. Please provide a copy of this certificate at the time of registration for tax compliance.
