Remote Sales Into Arizona
On May 31, 2019, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed House Bill (H.B.) 2757 into law. This legislation requires remote sellers and marketplace facilitators—to begin filing and paying transaction privilege tax (TPT) in Arizona starting October 1, 2019. The legislation is the result of a 2018 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in the South Dakota v. Wayfair case. The decision allows states to require out-of-state businesses without a physical presence to collect and remit tax on sales from transactions in their state.
Because of Arizona’s new laws, retailers selling items of tangible personal property into Arizona should carefully review the information provided on the AZDOR website to determine whether they must pay Arizona TPT.
