Economic nexus vs physical nexus: which one matters more for my foreign-owned LLC?
I run a SaaS business through a Wyoming LLC. I'm a non-resident alien from the UK and I have no physical presence anywhere in the U.S. But I have customers in 35 states. Do I have economic nexus in all of those states? How do I figure out which states I need to collect sales tax in?
Also, do SaaS subscriptions even count as taxable sales for sales tax purposes?
