The Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair made the out-of-state vendor provisions of Act 134 of 2016 effective.
An out-of-state vendor making sales into the State must register and collect sales tax if they made sales of at least $100,000 or 200 individual transactions during any preceding twelve-month period. Please register for a sales tax license or send us an email.
