In the United States, tax compliance has become more complex for online sellers since 2018. Tax registrations requirements change a lot from state to state, and in some cases businesses cannot rely on marketplaces collecting and remitting sales taxes on their behalf. According to a 2023 survey, roughly 40 percent of UK and U.S. businesses had to deal with higher complexity of managing tax requirements. However, business costs associated with tax compliance had a lower impact on marketplace third-party sellers (34.6 percent) than on independent sellers dealing with economic nexus guidelines and thresholds (40.4 percent).
