Missouri — nexus note

Missouri sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: remote sellers and marketplace facilitators that sell tangible personal property into Missouri must collect and remit vendor's use tax when gross receipts from taxable Missouri sales exceed $100,000. Missouri uses a sales-only threshold -- no transaction-count test. The Department of Revenue FAQ says sellers check at the end of each calendar quarter using the preceding 12-month period, and collection is required no later than three months after the quarter in which the threshold is crossed. Marketplace-only sellers do not collect Missouri vendor's use tax themselves, but sellers with both marketplace and independent sales count marketplace-facilitated receipts toward the $100,000 threshold and collect on their non-marketplace sales once the threshold is met.

Nebraska — nexus note

Economic nexus in Nebraska triggers when remote sellers exceed $100,000 in gross sales OR 200 or more separate transactions into Nebraska in the current or preceding calendar year — whichever is met first.
