Frequently asked questions about Connecticut sales tax nexus
When does economic nexus trigger in Connecticut?
Connecticut economic nexus triggers when a remote seller exceeds $100,000 in revenue or 200 transactions from Connecticut customers within a calendar year. Once triggered, the seller must register with the Connecticut Department of Revenue and begin collecting and remitting sales tax.
How long do I have to register after crossing nexus in Connecticut?
Connecticut requires sellers to register within 30 days of crossing the economic nexus threshold. Failing to register on time may result in back taxes, interest, and penalties assessed by the Connecticut Department of Revenue.
Do marketplace sales count toward Connecticut's nexus threshold?
Connecticut generally excludes marketplace-facilitated sales from the economic nexus threshold calculation, because the marketplace is responsible for collecting and remitting tax on those sales. Only direct sales from your own channels count toward the Connecticut threshold.
How often do I need to file sales tax returns in Connecticut?

Connecticut may adjust your frequency over time as your Connecticut sales volume becomes clearer. Check with the Connecticut Department of Revenue for your assigned frequency after you register.
