The following conditions might establish a physical nexus in Missouri:
In Missouri, sales tax is primarily imposed on the retail sale of tangible personal property. Services are generally not subject to sales tax unless specifically enumerated by statute.
Missouri uses origin-based sourcing for Missouri sellers, meaning tax is calculated based on the seller’s business location. Remote sellers must use destination-based sourcing, applying the combined rate at the customer’s address.
Register online via MyTax Missouri under “Register a New Business.” There is no fee, and remote sellers use the same process. Paper Form 2643 is available, and a Power of Attorney (Form 2827) may be submitted if needed.
Once registered, sellers must collect tax using the appropriate sourcing method (origin for in-state sellers, destination for remote sellers), verify taxable sales, and submit regular returns through MyTax Missouri. Sellers must also maintain records and ensure exemption certificates are properly used when applicable.
