Trailing Nexus

Trailing Nexus
Issue Date

A person has nexus with Washington for a calendar year if they meet an applicable nexus standard (described in RCW 82.04.067) during the calendar year, or if they met one in the previous calendar year.

Nexus continues even after a person stops activities that originally established nexus. This is often referred to as “trailing nexus.” This one-year trailing nexus concept applies to all taxes you report on the excise tax return, including retail sales tax.

Effective date

The one-year trailing nexus is effective as of June 1, 2010, for all taxes you report on the excise tax return.
