ALL CPAs Tax Alert: Out-of-state “Remote” Sellers will Collect MA Taxes as of October 1

As of October 1, 2019, out-of-state, or remote, sellers will collect taxes on products and services that make their way to Massachusetts, provided their sales exceed $100,000 in a calendar year (a remote seller is located outside Massachusetts and sells product or services into the state).  Additionally, marketplace sellers must collect taxes on products sold through them into Massachusetts by vendors that use their services – if the total exceeds $100,000 in a calendar year.  Please note that remote sellers and marketplaces may have to collect tax during the last quarter of 2019, as well as for calendar years beginning on or after January 1, 2020.

A remote seller is generally a seller lacking a Massachusetts physical presence that sells tangible personal property or services into the state. A marketplace that lacks a Massachusetts physical presence but facilitates or makes direct Massachusetts sales is also a remote seller.
