F. Idaho retailers who make sales through a marketplace facilitator

For Idaho sales you’re making through a marketplace facilitator, note that as of June 1, 2019, Idaho law requires marketplace facilitators to collect and forward Idaho sales tax on third-party sales in Idaho. Have your marketplace facilitator provide written verification of the sales tax they’re reporting. If your marketplace facilitator isn’t collecting and forwarding tax on your sales, please include it on your own seller’s permit.
