sales tax collection & remittance
A marketplace facilitator is a company that provides the platform where sales happen and processes payments on behalf of sellers.
Many states have passed laws that require marketplace facilitators to:
- Calculate sales tax
- Collect sales tax from the customer
- Remit sales tax directly to the state
In states where these laws apply, the responsibility for sales tax shifts from the seller to the marketplace.
Imago is considered a marketplace facilitator in certain states. As a result, imago may be required to handle sales tax collection and remittance for orders delivered to customers in those states.
Sales tax responsibilities vary by state and depend on current marketplace facilitator and nexus laws.
Below is a breakdown of how sales tax is handled for Imago orders.
