While all sales tax states have marketplace facilitator laws, the thresholds that trigger the collection requirement vary:
$100,000 threshold states: Most states including Arkansas, Colorado, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, and Wisconsin
$250,000 threshold states: Alabama (for Simplified Sellers Use Tax), Connecticut, and Mississippi
$500,000 threshold states: California (for remote sellers) and Tennessee
No threshold/Universal collection: California, New Jersey, Texas, and West Virginia require marketplace facilitators to collect sales tax on all sales regardless of volume
Key Effective Dates
The rollout of these laws occurred over several years:
-
2018: Minnesota (October 1), New Jersey (November 1), Connecticut (December 1)
-
2019: Iowa, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, and many others throughout the year
-
2020: Louisiana, Mississippi, Tennessee
-
2021: Florida (July 1), Kansas (July 1)
-
2023: Missouri (January 1) – the final state to adopt such a law
The comprehensive adoption of marketplace facilitator laws means that platforms like Amazon, eBay, Etsy, and Walmart now automatically collect and remit sales tax on behalf of third-party sellers in every state where sales tax applies.
