Pennsylvania has recently enacted legislation requiring certain remote sellers, marketplace facilitators, and referrers to choose between either collecting and remitting Pennsylvania sales tax or complying with notice and reporting requirements. If any of the aforementioned do not collect and remit sales tax, notice must be provided to the purchaser regarding the sales and use tax, and specific reporting information must be provided to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue regarding purchasers or remote sellers. Penalties for non-compliance will be a fine of $20,000 or 20% of the total sales in Pennsylvania during the previous 12 months, whichever is less, for each separate violation.
