Streamlined Sales Tax Registration System

The Streamlined Sales Tax Registration System (SSTRS) is a simple and free system to register for sales and use tax permits in the Streamlined member states. If you register for a sales and use tax permit, you are required to collect and remit sales tax to each state even if you don't have nexus. (This is not a tax exemption number.)

Learn more about sales tax registration and reporting requirements for:

• Remote Sellers
• Marketplace Sellers
• Marketplace Facilitators

Review the Streamlined Exemption Certificate Instructions to determine the documentation required when purchasing items for resale.

After Registering:

• Allow about 15 days for states to mail you the state's registration number and reporting information.
• You are required to collect, file and remit sales tax to directly to each state selected beginning with your "Registration Date." Returns must be filed even if you have no sales in a state. Do Not Ignore Notices you receive from a state. Contact that state as soon as possible to resolve any issues.
• Use your SSTRS account to update your business and contact information or end registrations for states registered in through the SSTRS.

Do Not complete this registration if you plan to use a Certified Service Provider (CSP). The CSP can register your business with us. (Caution: If you complete this registration you will be required to file returns with each state until the date you and the CSP agree the CSP will begin filing returns and making remittances on your behalf.)

Important: Except for states offering amnesty, registering through this system does not relieve you of any tax liability you may have relating to prior sales or purchases.
