How Vermont nexus works
Vermont sales tax nexus and economic nexus threshold: remote sellers must register, collect, and remit Vermont sales tax when Vermont-destination sales reach $100,000 or 200 individual sales transactions during the preceding twelve-month period. The remote-seller rule took effect July 1, 2018 after South Dakota v. Wayfair. Vermont counts taxable and nontaxable sales toward the threshold unless all the seller's Vermont sales are exempt; sellers review the threshold at each calendar-quarter close and generally begin collecting by the first day of the following month after the 30-day analysis window. Marketplace sellers combine direct Vermont sales with marketplace sales when testing the threshold, but do not collect on marketplace transactions where the marketplace is already collecting Vermont sales tax on their behalf. Vermont imposes a 6% state sales tax on retail sales, uses destination-based sourcing, and some municipalities add a 1% local option tax on taxable destination sales. Internet purchases, digital downloads, and prewritten software are listed by the Department as taxable categories unless an exemption applies.
Filing frequency
Filing frequency in Vermont depends on your sales tax liability. Higher-volume sellers file monthly; lower-volume sellers typically file quarterly or annually. The state will assign a frequency when you register.
Marketplace facilitator law
Yes, Vermont has a marketplace facilitator law. Sales you make through Amazon, Etsy, eBay, Walmart, and other marketplaces are collected and remitted by the marketplace — you do not need to collect tax on those transactions yourself, though you may still need to register.
