Marketplace Facilitator State Guidance
Many states have enacted Marketplace Facilitator/Provider laws that require the Marketplace Facilitator/Provider to collect and remit sales tax on sales facilitated on behalf of Marketplace Sellers if they exceed certain thresholds. Review the chart below to determine a state's registration and reporting requirements for a Marketplace Facilitator/Provider.
Are you a Marketplace Facilitator/Provider? A Marketplace Facilitator/Provider is generally a business or person who owns, operates or otherwise controls a physical or electronic marketplace and facilitates the sale of a third-party Seller’s products. The Marketplace Facilitator/Provider either directly or indirectly through contracts, agreements, or other arrangements with third parties, collects the payment from the purchaser and transmits all or part of the payment to the Seller.
States may define a Marketplace Facilitator/Provider more narrowly or more broadly than the general definition above. It is important to review a state’s laws and other published guidance for specific state requirements.
A Marketplace Facilitator/Provider may also be a “remote seller.” A Remote Seller is generally a seller that does not have a physical presence in a state but who sells products or services for delivery into that state.
If the Marketplace Facilitator/Provider has a physical presence in a state, it is not a Remote Seller and is generally required to register in that state regardless of the amount of sales.
If you are Marketplace Seller making sales through a Marketplace Facilitator/Provider, you may also be required to register and file returns for sales and use tax purposes in that state. See the Marketplace Seller state Guidance for more information.
