Companies like Drs. Foster & Smith does not have nexus in most states of the Union, including my home state of California. State legislators are trying to create nexus by twisting the definition of nexus to the point of being nonsensical. Worse, their attempts will only harm small businesses and not result in the collection of sales and use tax. What Drs. Foster & Smith point out is that companies that accept the new definition and collect the sales and use tax and remit it to the states are then might find themselves rewarded with penalties for not filing state corporate income tax returns and paying that tax.
