§ 44-18.1-32. Seller participation.
(A) The member states shall provide an online registration system that will allow sellers to register in all the member states.
(B) By registering, the seller agrees to collect and remit sales and use taxes for all taxable sales into the member states, including member states joining after the seller’s registration. Withdrawal or revocation of a member state shall not relieve a seller of its responsibility to remit taxes previously or subsequently collected on behalf of the state.
(C) In member states where the seller has a requirement to register prior to registering under the Agreement, the seller may be required to provide additional information to complete the registration process or the seller may choose to register directly with those states.
(D) A member state or a state that has withdrawn or been expelled shall not use registration with the central registration system and the collection of sales and use taxes in the member states as a factor in determining whether the seller has nexus with that state for any tax at any time.
