How Minnesota nexus works
Economic nexus in Minnesota triggers when remote sellers exceed $100,000 in gross sales OR 200 or more separate transactions into Minnesota in the current or preceding calendar year — whichever is met first.
Filing frequency
Filing frequency in Minnesota depends on your sales tax liability. Higher-volume sellers file monthly; lower-volume sellers typically file quarterly or annually. The state will assign a frequency when you register.
Marketplace facilitator law
Yes, Minnesota has a marketplace facilitator law. Sales you make through Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, and other marketplaces are collected and remitted by the marketplace — you do not need to collect tax on those transactions yourself, though you may still need to register.
