That seems to be on the honor system for now, since you have to go in and manually check the box for your state in your seller settings, so I'm leaving it be for now. If you really want to stay off the grid, you can always arrange an in-person meetup. This is the one annoying one, since Discogs also says you technically have to register your "business" and file tax returns and all that. According to Discogs, there are usually no thresholds for "resident sellers" since you're effectively the same as a brick and mortar business at that point. If you're doing that much in Discogs sales to one state, you probably have an accountant who has already explained this to you. Your buyers in MPF states automatically pay sales tax, and Discogs automatically collects it.įor non-MPF states, if you don't meet a specific state's economic nexus threshold, which means you do X amount of business in the state (at least $100,000 & 100 transactions for all states that have sales tax), you are not legally required to collect sales tax. You live in a non-MPF state, in which case it's up to the seller to account for sales tax if they meet your state's economic nexus threshold (see below) or if they live in the same state as you (also see below) You live in a state where Discogs is an MPF ( ) in which case Discogs automatically charges you sales tax, or So it seems a few weeks in that this was a bit of an overblown concern, assuming you don't have an ideological opposition to sales tax in the first place □. (Seems like a lot of the European sellers on the forums are upset and threatening to block US sales!) It looks like they’ll add it into the purchase and then pay it on behalf of sellers, so if you live in one of the affected states expect the price of your Discogs purchases to go up. We will also be adding new information to the Marketplace Order export to assist with tracking sales tax that has been collected. Beginning July 1, this tool will be available on the seller settings page. We urge sellers to use a professional tax advisor to help determine these responsibilities.ĭiscogs will be launching a new feature where sellers can view MPF states as well as toggle on / off states that they've determined it is necessary to collect sales tax. In states where Discogs does not qualify as an MPF, it is important for sellers to determine their own sales tax responsibilities. A list of these states is available in the help article linked below. Starting J, Discogs will be taking on full responsibility for the calculation, collection, and remittance of sales taxes in all states where we qualify as a Marketplace Facilitator (MPF). I went onto Reverb LP today to buy an album and found out about the sunsetting and searched reddit. Ive been buying vinyl on Reverb LP for the last couple of years and didnt know of Discogs. I’m sure if you use Discogs you already saw the notices but the site is going to start automatically collecting sales tax for about 20 US states starting in July: I found reverb LP really good for sorting the more niche special editions out from the regular releases.
