If you are not registered for a sales tax permit in a state and need to get registered, HOST can complete the registration for you.
To do so, log in to our secure client portal. If you have not used the portal before, please refer to our guide on getting started on the HOST Sales Tax Center.
If you have not already done so, you will need to complete your Company Profile, including these three tabs:
Head to the Registrations tab
Place a check box by the states where you wish to register. Then click the yellow Selected Actions dropdown and choose Register.
After you click Register, you will see a new window that will display your price per registration, followed by a list of each of the states you selected.
NOTE: Make sure you have entered a payment method under Company Profile -> Funding -> Add Payment Method before filling out the requested information!
For each state you will need to enter an effective date, which is when you reached nexus in that state. That is also the date you will want to start collecting sales tax on taxable orders in that state.
You’ll also want to enter a Registration Type. There are two options Economic Nexus or Physical Nexus.
Economic Nexus occurs when you have surpassed a certain number of sales and/or a certain dollar amount in a state. You can read more about these thresholds here.
Physical Nexus occurs due to some physical presence in a state. This could be the home state where you are based. Other possible triggers of physical nexus are offices, employees, warehouses, and stored inventory.
Read and agree to the Terms & conditions and click Register.
Our Registrations team will take it from there and follow up with any additional needed information as well as the status of your Registrations project.
