SB 597 Retail Sales and Use Tax; presumption of sufficient activity to require dealer to register.

Introduced by: Frank W. Wagner | all patrons    ...    notes | add to my profiles

SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)

Retail sales and use tax; presumption for registration for collection of the tax.  Creates a legal presumption to require registration by a dealer for collection of retail sales and use taxes if any commonly controlled person maintains a distribution center, warehouse, fulfillment center, office, or similar location within the Commonwealth that facilitates the delivery of property sold by the dealer to its customers. The presumption can be rebutted by demonstrating that the activities conducted by the commonly controlled person in the Commonwealth are not significantly associated with the dealer's ability to establish or maintain a market in the Commonwealth for the dealer's sales. The effective date of the bill depends upon whether federal legislation passes authorizing states to require remote sellers to collect sales taxes on sales to in-state purchasers and the effective date of such federal legislation.
