Resumen.

Under the US Constitution businesses can only be coerced to collect sales and use taxes if they have sufficient nexus with a given state. Until last year, business-to-consumer sales by out-of-state vendors remained effectively untaxed if the seller did not have a physical presence in the state where the consumer lived. With its landmark Wayfair-ruling the Supreme Court changed its course and widened the door for the States to coerce remote sellers (including those located outside the US) to collect the tax by accepting an economic nexus standard. This article explains the political and constitutional background to the issue of sales tax collection in relation to B2C sales made by out-of-state vendors, discusses the reasoning of the majority and dissenting opinions in the Wayfair ruling, and analyses its implications.
