Marketplace Facilitator Rules & What Sellers Still Owe
After Amazon and other platforms collect sales tax, sellers still need to assess registration, returns, DTC and wholesale gaps, and FBA nexus. YCL Cary/RTP + Shanghai nexus reviewFree Consultation.
Marketplace facilitator sales tax: a channel-limited compliance framework
US marketplace facilitator laws often require Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, and similar platforms to collect and remit tax on facilitated retail sales. That does not mean the seller is done. Registration, returns, and collection may remain for Shopify DTC, wholesale, pop-ups, or other non-facilitated channels. FBA and 3PL inventory can create physical nexus, while economic nexus thresholds and marketplace treatment vary by state.
Map who collects by state and channel, preserve platform reports for reconciliations, configure tax engines for DTC, and test inventory locations separately. Facilitator remittance is not a substitute for a channel-split nexus review; verify current state statutes and platform policies before filing.
