Who Needs to Collect Sales Tax in Cheyenne, Wyoming?+

As Wyoming’s capital and largest city, Cheyenne is known for its strong government presence, growing energy sector, and iconic events like the annual Cheyenne Frontier Days. Its strategic location along major transportation routes also makes it an important commercial center for businesses serving customers throughout the state.

Businesses must collect Wyoming sales tax if they have a sales tax nexus and make taxable sales in the state. This requirement applies whether your business has a physical presence in Cheyenne (such as an office, store, warehouse, or employees) or sells remotely to Wyoming customers after establishing economic nexus.

What Creates Sales Tax Nexus in Cheyenne, Wyoming?+

A sales tax nexus is created based on your business’s significant presence in a state. Two types of sales tax nexus determine your business’s presence in a state: physical nexus and economic nexus.

Physical Nexus+

A physical nexus is established by having a substantial physical presence or engaging in enough taxable sales activities within a state. Several factors determine a physical nexus in Wyoming.

Physical Location: This means having an office, a place for distribution, sales, or showcasing products, a warehouse or storage facility, or any other place where you conduct business.
Inventory in the State: This applies to situations where you store products within the state, whether it’s done via a third-party fulfillment center or 3PL (such as Amazon FBA) or an online marketplace.
Business Representatives: Having employees, independent contractors, agents, or other representatives operating within the state on your behalf.
Affiliate Nexus: An out-of-state seller without a physical presence in Wyoming may still have a nexus if the seller has an affiliate. This applies to affiliates with a physical presence in Wyoming who act on behalf of the seller.
Presence at Trade Show: You must collect sales tax if you exhibit at more than four Wyoming trade shows in 12 months. Once you establish a nexus and obtain a license, sales tax applies to all sales in Wyoming, including those outside trade shows.

Economic Nexus+

Economic nexus is established based on two common factors. First is your business’s total sales revenue, and second is the number of transactions you’ve had within the state. In Cheyenne, Wyoming, the economic nexus threshold is:

$100,000 in gross revenue

On July 1, 2024, Wyoming removed the 200-transaction economic nexus threshold. This means you only have to meet the total sales revenue threshold to create an economic nexus in Wyoming.
