We are located in CO but sell nationwide. Our supplier is located outside of CO and does "drop shipments" to our customers. I provided our supplier with a CO resale certificate, but they tell me I have to register in every state in order to exempt the tax. Is this true? What if our customers provide us with a tax exemption form for their home state? What forms should I be providing our supplier?	Drop-Shipments & Exemption Certificates (CO / USA)	US	Diane L.

AL has numerous self-administered jurisdictions. If the client establishes nexus in one city due to sending a vendor to provide services on the customer's site, does that mean the client automatically has nexus in every jurisdiction in AL, and therefore charges both state and local (sellers use) tax on every sale they make within the state?

Our sales rep moved to CA on June 1. I believe that's the date when nexus applies to the company. However the CA state rep told me that the nexus actually started when the sales rep was making sales trips to CA - prior to the move. (He resided in GA before that).
