§ 67-6-515. Collection of Taxes by Marketplace Facilitator — Reports — Audit — Relief From Liability
Universal Citation: TN Code § 67-6-515 (2020)
- A marketplace facilitator that collects and remits the taxes imposed by this chapter shall collect taxes on sales through its marketplace based upon the address to which the tangible personal property or things taxable under this chapter are shipped; provided, however, that taxes collected by the marketplace facilitator on services sold through its marketplace shall be collected as otherwise provided in this chapter.
- A marketplace facilitator shall report the sales and use taxes on sales through its marketplace separately from any sales and use taxes collected on sales made directly by the marketplace facilitator or affiliates of the marketplace facilitator.
- The commissioner may, in the commissioner's sole discretion, audit a marketplace facilitator for sales made by marketplace sellers and facilitated by the marketplace facilitator, except with respect to transactions that are subject to § 67-6-501(f)(1)-(3). The commissioner shall not audit or otherwise assess taxes against marketplace sellers for sales facilitated by a marketplace facilitator except to the extent the marketplace facilitator seeks relief as provided below or with respect to transactions that are subject to § 67-6-501(f)(1)-(3).
- A marketplace facilitator shall be relieved of liability for failure to collect and remit the correct amount of taxes to the extent that the error was due to incorrect or insufficient information given to the marketplace facilitator by the marketplace seller if the marketplace facilitator demonstrates that it made a reasonable effort to obtain correct and sufficient information from the marketplace seller. This subsection (d) shall not apply if the marketplace facilitator and the marketplace seller are affiliates.
- No class action lawsuit may be brought against a marketplace facilitator in this state on behalf of purchasers relating to overcollection of sales or use taxes by the marketplace facilitator, regardless of whether that claim is characterized as a tax refund claim.
- Nothing in this section affects the obligation of any purchaser to remit sales or use taxes for any taxable transaction for which a marketplace facilitator or seller does not collect and remit sales and use taxes.
