South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. green
scotus · 2018
2 sentences

2022Substantial Nexus ¶ 28 Despite petitioner’s contention otherwise, the Wayfair Court addressed the first requirement of Complete Auto’s four-part test—substantial nexus—in its entirety by holding that, “[i]n the absence of Quill and Bellas Hess, the first prong of the Complete Auto test simply asks whether the tax applies to an activity with a substantial nexus with the taxing State.” Id. at 2099 .

2022Instead, we can confidently look to the application by the Supreme Court of the United States of the Complete Auto test to a materially identical tax regime in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., 138 S. Ct. 2080 (2018) to guide our analysis.
