Most online sales in Arizona will be subject to state sales taxes after the Legislature and governor approved a plan to require online retailers who do more than $200,000 in sales in Arizona to collect the tax.
That threshold will go down in subsequent years. This comes after a ruling last year from the U.S. Supreme Court, in a case known as South Dakota v. Wayfair, which essentially said states could require online retailers to collect sales taxes, even if they don’t have a physical presence in that state. The Arizona Retailers Association was among those pushing for this change.
