Nebraska Amazon Sales Tax
Nebraska enforces marketplace facilitator law since April 2019. Amazon collects Nebraska state and local sales tax on every order.
Overview
Nebraska's marketplace facilitator law took effect April 1, 2019. The state base rate is 5.5%, and cities may add a local option sales tax of up to 2% (with a small county tax applying outside municipal limits in one county), bringing the combined rate as high as 7.5%. Amazon collects and remits the correct combined rate automatically on orders shipped to Nebraska addresses.
The exact rate a buyer pays depends on the delivery city, since local option taxes stack on top of the 5.5% state base. Nebraska is not a primary Amazon fulfillment-center state for nexus purposes, so the marketplace facilitator law is generally what triggers Amazon's collection obligation on third-party sales.
For FBA sellers, Amazon's automatic collection means Amazon-only sellers have no separate Nebraska registration obligation for those marketplace sales. Sellers with direct or other channels should track their own economic nexus, and any edge cases warrant review with a tax professional.
What FBA sellers still need to know
No registration for ongoing Amazon-only sales. Direct/non-Amazon sellers exceeding $100,000 in retail sales or 200 or more separate transactions into Nebraska in the current or prior calendar year must register and remit.
