Registering for a Nebraska sales tax permit
Nebraska's state sales tax rate is 5.5%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, measured over the prior calendar year or current calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Nebraska registration through revenue.nebraska.gov/businesses/register-your-new-business-online for $99, plus any state fee at cost.
