Frequently asked questions about Maryland sales tax nexus
When does economic nexus trigger in Maryland?
Maryland economic nexus triggers when a remote seller exceeds $100,000 in revenue or 200 transactions from Maryland customers within a calendar year. Once triggered, the seller must register with the Maryland Department of Revenue and begin collecting and remitting sales tax.
How long do I have to register after crossing nexus in Maryland?
Maryland requires sellers to register within 60 days of crossing the economic nexus threshold. Failing to register on time may result in back taxes, interest, and penalties assessed by the Maryland Department of Revenue.
Do marketplace sales count toward Maryland's nexus threshold?
Maryland 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 Maryland threshold.
How often do I need to file sales tax returns in Maryland?
Maryland assigns filing frequency based on your sales volume. New remote sellers typically start on monthly filing. Maryland may adjust your frequency over time as your Maryland sales volume becomes clearer. Check with the Maryland Department of Revenue for your assigned frequency after you register.
