Delaware Marketplace Facilitator Sales Tax Rules — 2026

Updated

Delaware's marketplace facilitator law

Delaware marketplace facilitator status is pending verification in our next data refresh.

Key distinctions

  • Facilitated sales (collected by the marketplace): you generally don't collect or remit.
  • Direct sales (your own checkout): your responsibility as before.
  • Informational filings may still be required depending on Delaware's rules, even on marketplace-facilitated volume.
  • Most states exclude marketplace-facilitated sales from your economic nexus threshold calculation, but double-check Delaware specifically before assuming.

Marketplace-specific gotchas in Delaware

  • Not every platform you sell on is legally a marketplace facilitator. Shopify's store platform is not — you are the seller of record. Shopify's Markets Pro is. Verify per platform.
  • Wholesale sales through a marketplace are usually NOT marketplace-facilitated — the marketplace is a payment conduit, not the seller. Direct-collect obligations still apply.
  • Returning customers and refunds: if the marketplace remitted tax and you process a refund outside the marketplace, the refund usually needs to flow through the marketplace to trigger the tax reversal. Off-marketplace refunds create reconciliation headaches.

Delaware nexus note

Delaware has no state or local sales tax. Sellers do not need to register, collect, or remit sales tax on transactions delivered to Delaware customers. However, Delaware does impose a gross receipts tax on in-state business activity.
