Remote Sales Into Arizona. On , Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed House Bill (H.B.) 2757 into law. This legislation requires remote sellers and marketplace facilitators—to begin filing and paying transaction privilege tax (TPT) in Arizona starting October 1, 2019.

Remote seller makes sales into Arizona through its website and ships to the following cities: $200,000 shipped into Phoenix. $100,000 shipped into Chandler. The remote seller will report these sales using Retail Sales business code 605 for both the state/county and the cities the product is shipped to.
Therefore, it is ultimately the vendor, not the customer, who is liable to ADOR for TPT associated with taxable sales made in Arizona. Although not required to do so, vendors generally choose to pass this tax to the customer, so we generally tend to think of TPT as a sales tax.

By contrast, marketplace facilitators and retailers with a physical presence in Arizona must obtain a TPT license, irrespective of any threshold.
