(a) If a remote seller’s gross statewide sales meet or exceed the threshold criteria in CCO 4.30.060, the remote seller shall register with the Commission. If the remote seller is a marketplace seller and only makes sales in Alaska through a marketplace, the marketplace seller is not required to register with the Commission. The marketplace seller must submit an affidavit attesting to these facts on a form provided by the Commission.

(b) If a marketplace facilitator’s gross statewide sales meet or exceed the threshold criteria in CCO 4.30.060, the marketplace facilitator shall register with the Commission.

(c) A remote seller or marketplace facilitator meeting the threshold criteria shall apply for a certificate of sales tax registration within 30 calendar days of the effective date of this Code or within 30 calendar days of meeting the threshold criteria, whichever occurs second. Registration shall be to the Commission on forms prescribed by the Commission.

(d) An extension may be applied for and granted based on criteria established by the Commission, based on evidence produced to describe time necessary to update software or other technical needs, not to exceed 90 days.

(e) Upon receipt of a properly executed application, the Commission shall confirm registration, stating the legal name of the remote seller or marketplace facilitator, the primary address, and the primary sales tax contact name and corresponding title. The failure of the Commission to confirm registration does not relieve the remote seller or marketplace facilitator of its duty to collect and remit sales tax.

(f) Each business entity shall have a sales tax registration under the advertised name.

(g) The sales tax certificate is nonassignable and nontransferable.

(h) The sales tax certificate satisfies a member jurisdiction’s requirement to obtain a municipal business license, provided the remote seller does not have a physical presence in that member jurisdiction. [Ord. 21-06 § 2 (Att.), 2021; Ord. 20-03 § 2 (Att.), 2020. Formerly 4.30.090.]
