North Carolina enacted legislation to remove economic thresholds applied to marketplace facilitators. Previously, marketplace facilitators were required to collect and remit sales tax on their marketplace-facilitated sales if they had gross sales in excess of $200,000 or 200 or more separate transactions in the previous calendar year. Effective July 1, 2020, all marketplace facilitators are considered the retailer of each marketplace-facilitated sale it makes and is liable for collecting and remitting the sales and use tax on all such sales regardless of their amount of gross sales or number of transactions.
