DC Still Imposes No Nexus On Remote Employees Amid Virus

Washington, D.C., won't assert nexus on companies because employees living in the district are working from home amid the novel coronavirus pandemic, the Office of Tax and Revenue reiterated in a notice.

The notice, issued Thursday by the district's tax department, followed on Democratic Mayor Muriel Bowser's extension of public emergency and public health emergency orders through Oct. 9.

The notice said the Office of Tax and Revenue will not impose its corporation franchise tax or its unincorporated business franchise tax on companies based on having remote workers or property temporarily located in the district during workdays for the duration of the district's emergency orders.

The department issued a similar notice in April.
