John B.
I am an attorney with over 13 years experience licensed in both Illinois and Indiana. I spent the early part of my career as a civil litigation attorney. Eventually, I moved into an in-house role, specifically as general counsel, to help companies avoid the pains of litigation. In doing so, I gained significant experience in executive leadership, corporate governance, risk management and cybersecurity/privacy. I bring this wealth of experience to my client engagements to not only resolve the immediate issue, but help implement lasting improvements in practices to avoid similar problems going forward.

What is sales tax nexus?
I am considering an acquisition of an e-commerce company and have read about internet taxes and 'sales tax nexus'.
Jane C.
Sales tax nexus is the minimum contacts that a seller has with a state that would require it to register to do business within the state and file sales tax returns. Examples of activities that may create sales tax nexus include having a warehouse in the state and physical delivery of goods into the state.

Our boat is a flow through asset to us when we closed our Delaware LLC about 4 years ago. We sold the boat to ourselves at a one dollar amount registering and documenting it to us in our names...the corporation closing. The boat would possibly sell for 150k to 18k in today’s market. We did pay Florida state sales tax years ago and this was recognized on flow through to us. What if anything will we owe if it’s a capital gain? Thank you.
We plan to sell the boat in a month or two in Florida. We are retired with retirement incomes of less than 40k per year and we live in Florida. Thank you.

I suggest you consult with a tax attorney. There are many attorneys on Contracts Counsel that can assist you.

Gift Agreement
Florida
How. much in value can I give as a gift? I am a resident of Florida?
My son wants to gift stock and wants to know how much in value he can gift.
Diane D.
Your son should be doing the asking because by you asking, you are illegally practicing law. However, generally you are not required to file a gift tax return unless the total gifts to a recipient exceed the annual gift tax exclusion for that calendar year., which for Florida is $15,000.

Quick, user friendly and one of the better ways I've come across to get ahold of lawyers willing to take new clients.
View Trustpilot ReviewContracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.
View Trustpilot ReviewI never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.
View Trustpilot ReviewI got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
