Marketplace sales tax: what sellers should know
Marketplace-facilitator rules often mean a platform collects and remits buyer sales tax—but that does not answer every seller tax question.
Marketplace-collected tax
In many US states and other jurisdictions, a marketplace facilitator collects and remits sales tax on qualifying orders. The rules, exemptions and reporting obligations vary by location and transaction.
Income and business taxes
Sales tax is distinct from income tax. Keep records of gross receipts, platform fees, refunds, shipping costs and cost of goods; consult your state revenue agency or a qualified tax professional for your situation.
Authoritative starting points
Check your state department of revenue and the IRS small-business tax guidance for current requirements. This page is general information, not tax advice.
