Sales Tax for Marketplace Providers

field_block:node:page:body

In 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair caused out-of-state marketplace providers to collect and remit Minnesota Sales Tax if they meet specific thresholds. This also applies to foreign marketplace providers.

A marketplace provider is any person, other than the seller, who facilitates a retail sale by both:

  • Listing or advertising the seller’s products
  • Processing the payments from the customer, either directly or indirectly through a third party, regardless of whether the marketplace provider receives compensation or other consideration in exchange for its services

Note: Some states refer to marketplace providers as marketplace facilitators.

Requirements to Collect Sales Tax

You may be required to collect sales tax on behalf of sellers using your marketplace. This includes foreign sellers. Requirements vary on whether you have a taxable presence in Minnesota.
