Local Sales Tax Requirements for Minnesota Sellers

Make sure you meet updated local sales tax requirements for Minnesota sellers


Experienced Small Business Accountant - If you make sales into local jurisdictions that have local sales taxes, you must now collect those taxes. This may require you to register, collect, and remit additional local taxes.

Why is this changing now?
On June 21, 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair that physical presence is not required for sellers to be responsible for sales tax collection. Now all Minnesota sellers – regardless of their location – must collect state and local sales taxes based on the location of their customer.

I am currently
What do I need to do?
Collecting local sales taxes because I have a physical presence or chose to voluntarily collect
Continue to collect these local taxes
Collecting local sales taxes, but only in the areas I am physically present
Register and collect any local sales taxes on sales you make into local taxing areas where you are not physically present
Not collecting any local sales taxes
Register and collect any local taxes where you make sales into local taxing areas

What does this mean for me?
You must collect local tax even if you don’t have a physical presence in a local taxing area. 
If you would like to discuss how these affects your particular situation, and any planning moves you should consider in light of them, please give me a call.
