Sales tax
Fullscript operates as a Marketplace Facilitator whom is required to collect and remit sales tax on behalf of all Marketplace Sellers. Fullscript stores are considered Marketplace sellers.
Fullscript will remit any sales tax collected to the appropriate taxing authorities. Your business may still have sales tax/other tax obligations to fulfill. Your accountant or CPA can assist you in determining what your business obligations are.
Fullscript is committed to collecting and remitting sales tax at the state level, but we don’t currently collect or remit sales tax for home rule jurisdictions with self-administered local taxing authorities (cities, counties, or special tax jurisdictions) that have chosen to collect and administer sales or use tax independently from the state.
