Understanding Subnexuses in SuiteTax

Certain countries require a nexus structure that includes subnexuses. A nexus can have multiple subnexuses. A subnexus has a parent nexus on the nexus record. You must first create the parent nexus record before you can create its subnexuses.

See also Understanding Nexuses in SuiteTax.

To create nexuses and subnexuses, see Setting Up Nexuses in SuiteTax.

When you save a nexus record, the system checks for duplicate nexuses. You cannot create two nexuses with the same geographical settings (that is, the values in the Country and State/Province/County fields are the same for both nexuses). Only active nexuses are checked for duplicates.

The nexus structure is independent of the subsidiary structure and its tax registrations.

Example of a Parent Nexus and Subnexuses

Before you can create a subnexus, the parent nexus must already exist. In the following example, the setup of the three nexuses (Nexus A, Nexus B, and Nexus C) models a situation in which Canada has two provinces (Alberta and Ontario).

Nexus Fields	Parent Nexus	Subnexuses
Description	Nexus A	Nexus B	Nexus C
Country	Canada	Canada	Canada
State	(blank)	Alberta	Ontario
