Beginning July 1, 2019, the Arkansas Legislature will enact Act 822 of the 92nd Legislative Session which requires that on-line and other remote, out-of-state sellers collect state and local sales and use taxes in those states where the seller does not have a physical presence but where they sell and deliver their products and services. All remote sellers and marketplace facilitators are required to collect and remit Sales and Use tax to the State of Arkansas if within the current or previous year the sale of tangible personal property, taxable services, a digital code, or specified digital products for delivery into Arkansas exceeded one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000) or two hundred (200) transactions. Arkansas, as a member of the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board, has implemented standards and simplifications that will provide assistance to on-line and remote sellers affected by the Supreme Court’s decision as you transition to collecting and reporting Arkansas state and local sales and use taxes.
