On December 8, 2020. The Puerto Rico Secretary of Hacienda signed Regulation 2020-9237 expanding sales tax collection requirements to include Remote Sellers and Marketplace Facilitators effective 1/1/21. Businesses that have at least $100,000 in gross sales or 200 individual sales transactions during any preceding 12-month period have an obligation to collect and remit sales tax. Obligated Remote Sellers and Facilitators can register through the SURI system. Further, sellers making sales through facilitators will be relieved of their collection and remittance obligations for those transactions upon obtaining an SUT Collection Release, which is also accomplished through the SURI system.
