How West Virginia’s threshold works
If you sell into West Virginiawithout a physical presence there, you may still be required to register for, collect, and remit sales tax once your activity crosses the state’s economic-nexus threshold. West Virginia measures this over the current or previous calendar year.
What counts toward the threshold
West Virginia generally counts your gross sales into the state, typically including taxable and many exempt or wholesale sales, not just your profit. The transaction count is the number of separate sales delivered into the state. Sales made through a marketplace that already collects tax for you may be counted differently; this checker measures your direct sales.
What to do if you’ve crossed it
- Register for a sales-tax permit with the West Virginia Tax Division.
- Start collecting West Virginia sales tax at the correct rate.
- File returns and remit on the state’s schedule.
- Consider a sales-tax professional or automation if you’re near the line in several states.
Deadlines and rates vary by state, so confirm the specifics before you act.
