The Hidden Nexus Trap Costing Shopify Sellers Thousands

Most Shopify sellers have no idea they're breaking tax laws until it's too late—and the penalties are brutal.

In this episode, discover:

• Four types of nexus that trigger tax obligations beyond economic thresholds: physical locations, affiliate commissions, click-through traffic, and even trade show attendance create instant compliance requirements
• Why Amazon FBA sellers get blindsided when launching Shopify stores—Amazon handles sales tax automatically while Shopify puts the burden entirely on you, creating massive compliance gaps
• 2025's aggressive tax changes: Illinois eliminating transaction thresholds, California charging $800 minimum just to store one product, and states adding new service taxes monthly

Reuben Mattinson is CEO of RJM Tax Exemption, serving 4,000+ e-commerce businesses as the #1 rated tax compliance firm on TrustPilot in the Shopify ecosystem.

Whether you're doing $10K months or $1M months, this conversation delivers actionable insights you can implement this week.
