HB 276 Sales and use tax; certain persons that facilitate certain retail sales; require collection of tax
Bill Summary: House Bill 276 amends O.C.G.A. 48-8-2, relating to definitions regarding sales and use tax, by adding the terms "marketplace facilitator" and "marketplace seller", as well as expanding the definition of "dealer", to require marketplace facilitators to collect and remit sales tax on behalf of marketplace sellers.

A "marketplace facilitator" is a person who contracts with a marketplace seller to make available or facilitate taxable retail sales on the marketplace seller's behalf. This includes promoting, marketing, advertising, taking or reserving orders, providing the physical or electronic infrastructure that brings purchasers and marketplace sellers together, or otherwise assisting the marketplace seller in making retail sales and collecting, charging, processing, or otherwise facilitating payment for the retail sales.

A "marketplace seller" is a person who conducts retail sales through or facilitated by any physical or electronic marketplace or platform operated by a marketplace facilitator.

The definition of "dealer" is expanded to include marketplace facilitators who assist taxable sales through delivery, held for pickup, used, consumed, distributed, stored for use or consumption, or rendered as a service in Georgia if the total value of all sales, including sales from marketplace sellers and the marketplace facilitator itself, exceeds $100,000 in the previous or current calendar year.
