Local sales tax can be set by counties and cities, at 0.5%, 1%, 1.5%, 1.75%, or 2%. A foreign business has nexus in Nebraska if it has physical presence. Remote sellers must collect sales tax if in the previous or current calendar year they have sales exceeding $100,000 or if they have made 200 or more separate transactions. A Sales Tax Permit must be obtained for each location in Nebraska. A business must file the Nebraska Tax Application (Form 20) to receive a Nebraska Sales Tax ID Number and PIN.

Nonprofit organizations making sales must obtain a Nebraska sales tax permit and may qualify for exemption from paying sales tax on specific purchases.
