Wayfair Implementation – Marketplace Facilitator Collection Project White Paper

Wayfair Implementation – Marketplace Facilitator Collection Project White Paper

The Uniformity Committee established the work group on Wayfair Implementation and Marketplace Facilitator Collection project as a project to address issues concerning the states implementation of the U.S. Supreme Court’s Wayfair decision, giving states the authority to impose sales and use taxes on remote sellers, and enacting requirements for marketplace facilitators to collect and remit those taxes on marketplace sales. The work group’s goal has been to develop recommendations for maximizing compliance while minimizing the burden on remote sellers, marketplace facilitators and marketplace sellers. The work group has produced a white paper (which we will continue to update, periodically) which is available here .

Wayfair, What’s Fair, and Undue Burden

Wayfair, What’s Fair, and Undue Burden

Michael Fatale, deputy general counsel at the Massachusetts Department of Revenue and adjunct professor at Boston College Law School, discusses the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc., 138 S. Ct. 2080 (2018).  After revisiting the Supreme Court’s prior holdings in and the history of National Bellas Hess, Inc. v. Dep’t of Rev. of Illinois (1967) and Quill Corp. v. North Dakota (1992), Fatale then turns to the history and text of the South Dakota statute at issue in Wayfair.  Finally, he considers the legal theories evaluated by the Supreme Court in Wayfair — in particular the notions of discrimination, due process, and undue burden.  The article was originally published in the Chapman Law Review and is made available here by permission.

States Should Embrace GILTI or Pursue an Alternative Path to Fairness

In this article, Brian Hamer, MTC counsel, argues for states either to follow the lead of the federal government and tax Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (GILTI) or to adopt an alternative approach to address international income shifting by global enterprises.  The article describes the federal tax on GILTI which is part of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, the reasons that motivated Congress to act and which equally to states, the magnitude of global income shifting by U.S. corporations and the adverse impact on state tax bases, the inadequacy of traditional tools to address this problem, and the key legal issues that relate to state taxation of GILTI.
