Avalara helps solve common compliance challenges marketplaces face
Improve compliance without increasing workload
Then you have to figure out all the varying tax rates and rules for all the products your sellers list. It feels impossible.
Get the right solution for now — and later
You don’t want to invest time and energy in a platform that won’t work if you expand into global markets.
Be transparent about rates on international sales
Letting the customer deal with the charges on delivery just means they’ll be angry and may even reject the shipment.
Attract B2B sellers
Avalara VendorCapture enables FATCA compliance by collecting, validating, and maintaining Forms W-8 and W-9 for federal tax withholding compliance.
Tax authorities are focusing on marketplaces as revenue sources
In the wake of the South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. U.S. Supreme Court decision, states have turned their attention to marketplace platforms.
Initially, sellers were responsible for collecting and remitting where they had nexus. But states are seizing on opportunities to hold marketplaces responsible for the activities of their collective sellers. As of August 2020, only seven states had yet to enact marketplace facilitator laws.
2021 legislative changes
And it's not just in the U.S. New UK obligations on marketplaces, requiring the platforms themselves to collect and report VAT on behalf of their sellers, take effect January 1, 2021, with similar EU rules following in July. See how this impacts your business, and find potential solutions.
