Do marketplace facilitator laws mean I don't need to collect sales tax if I sell on Amazon?
I sell products on Amazon FBA and also on my own Shopify store. My LLC is in Wyoming and I'm a non-resident alien from India. I heard that Amazon collects sales tax for me. Does that mean I'm off the hook for sales tax compliance? What about my Shopify store sales?
