With the US Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision, states now have the constitutional power to require remote sellers to administer sales/use taxes, even if they have no in-state physical presence. But, besides using “economic nexus” as a basis for taxation, states are also advancing other laws to increase tax collection … laws that require parties other than the true retailer to administer sales/use taxes. For example, in certain states, companies like Amazon are collecting and remitting sales/use taxes on transactions where they are not the retailer. In this webinar, learn about this growing trend, as well as its origins and potential legal issues and challenges.
