Overview

Arkansas' marketplace facilitator law took effect July 1, 2019. The base state sales tax rate is 6.5%, with local jurisdictions adding up to 5.125% on top, making the maximum combined rate 11.625%. Amazon collects and remits sales tax on all Arkansas orders automatically.

For FBA sellers, this means you have no Arkansas registration or filing obligation when 100% of your Arkansas sales flow through Amazon. The marketplace facilitator law exempts marketplace-only sellers from registration.

What FBA sellers still need to know

No registration needed for Amazon-only sellers. Direct-to-consumer sales above $100K/year or 200 transactions require state registration.
