New reporting requirements for marketplace facilitators

In addition, Pennsylvania’s new marketplace facilitator law kicks in on April 1. It requires certain non-collecting marketplace facilitators to either collect and remit tax on its own taxable sales and those made through its forum, or to comply with notice and reporting requirements. Whichever option is chosen, compliance starts April 1. Additional information is available from the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue.
