Mobility Route must often deal with very complex tax requirements which typically fall into two categories. This is all due to a ruling from the US Supreme Court in 2018. The first is providing our digital platform which is software-as-a-service, and the second is physical products like tablet mounts and cases.
Please keep in mind that our obligations to collect tax are subject to change at any time.
Mobility Route & Digital Services
Mobility Route is required to collect sales tax in all states that tax SaaS AND in which we have a "nexus". A nexus includes both a "physical nexus", meaning where one of our employees lives/works, certain states that we conduct trade shows in (depending on the state), and more. The other is an "economic nexus", which means our gross sales total a certain dollar amount or number of transactions (or both) per year. Every state has its own respective tax laws and definition of the service we provide.
This is based upon the physical address of your operation. If you use our software in multiple states then the handling of tax can get more complex, but we will work with each of our customers as needed to address this. This is also why your address and business registration information must be verified by us.
States we collect tax for SaaS
At the present time, our digital services are only taxed in the state of Masscechutes. While we have nexus in other states, such states either do not have a sales tax (ie DE, OR, NH, MT) or SaaS is not taxable. This is subject to change at any time.
Physical Products
Physical goods are often taxed and defined differently from digital goods. There are far more states in which we must collect sales tax if you order physical products from us. The states we have to collect tax on can vary based upon a number of variables, including our partners who directly ship some of the value-added products.
