Disclosed Practice 8 (8.2g.ii) - Added reference for bulletins on website
Disclosed Practice 9 - Added missing answers and comments
Each Tax Administration Practice is in the Library of Tax Administration Practices in the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement (SSUTA) as amended through November 7, 2023. See Appendix E of the SSUTA for additional explanations and examples related to the Tax Administration Practices".
"Tax Administration Practices" indicates which administrative practices the state follows and provides an explanation of the state's practice if it does not follow a listed practice.
To the extent possible under each state's laws, sellers and CSPs are relieved from tax liability to the member state and its local jurisdictions for having charged and collected the incorrect amount of sales and use tax resulting from the seller or certified service provider relying on erroneous data provided by the member state relative to the tax administration practices.
To the extent possible under each state's laws, sellers and CSPs are also relieved from tax liability to the member state and its local jurisdictions for having charged and collected the incorrect amount of sales and use tax until the first day of the calendar month that is at least 30 days after notice of a change to the state's "Taxability Matrix: Tax Administration Practice" is submitted to the governing board, provided the seller or CSP relied on the prior version of the Taxability Matrix.
As of June 2021 the Taxability Matrix was separated into two documents: Taxability Matrix: Library of Definitions (previously Section 1) and Taxability Matrix: Tax Administration Practices (previously Section 2).

Unless otherwise specified, Disclosed Practice 8 only applies to the states’ sales and use tax laws, and not to other taxes or other regulatory registration requirements.
(These tax administration practices address how a member state administers its sales and use tax economic nexus, remote seller, and marketplace facilitator/provider statutes. The United States Supreme Court (SCOTUS) ruled in South Dakota v. Wayfair on June 21, 2018, that states can require sellers to collect and remit sales or use tax on sales delivered to locations within their state even if the seller does not have a physical presence in the state.)

General Definition
For purposes of Disclosed Practice 8.1.a
"Remote Seller" is generally a seller that does not have any physical presence in a state (no property or employees) but who sells products or services for delivery into that state.
A remote seller includes a "marketplace seller" that does not have a physical presence in the state.
(Note: A state may allow a seller to have limited physical presence in the state and still treat the seller as a remote seller as provided in (A) and (B).)
(A)(1) Inventory Controlled by 3rd Party
(A) (1) The State still treats a seller as a "Remote Seller" if the seller’s only physical presence in the state is inventory owned by that seller that is in a third party’s warehouse which the seller does not control (e.g., Marketplace Facilitator/Provider controls the movement of inventory). (Note, the exception in (A)(2) and/or (B) may also apply.)
W.S. 39-15-501(a)
(A)(2) Inventory Seller Controls
(A)(2) The State still treats a seller as a “Remote Seller” if the seller’s only physical presence in the state is inventory owned by that seller that is in a third party’s warehouse and the seller controls the movement of the inventory. (Note, the exception in (A)(1) and/or (B) may also apply.)
W.S. 39-15-501(a)
(B) Employees
(B) The State still treats a seller as a “Remote Seller” if the seller’s only physical presence in the state is an employee that is not involved in making sales. If for purposes of Disclosed Practice 8.1.(B) the State distinguishes between retail and wholesale sales, the State will indicate it in the Comment column.
(Note, the exception in (A) may also apply.)
W.S. 39-15-501(a),
W.S. 39-16-101(a)(x)

Disclosed Practice 9 – Administration of Exemptions
NOTE: Additional explanatory information and examples can be found in Appendix E of the SSUTA.
These tax administration practices address how a member state administers exemptions that appear on the SST exemption certificate when the transaction is sourced to the state. Not all states allow all of the exemptions listed on the SST exemption certificate. In addition, some exemptions may have limitations or be limited in some manner.
The phrase “exemption certificate” includes both paper exemption certificates and the capture of the required data elements.
Sellers are not required to validate a purchaser’s ID number or to know whether a purchaser is required to be registered in a state.
Purchasers may be held liable for the tax, interest, and penalties on a transaction if the purchaser improperly issues an exemption certificate to the seller.
Unless otherwise noted, States should respond to every disclosed practice question/statement. A state is not required to answer a question if that question is the subject of ongoing litigation in the state. States should provide links to statutes, regulations or published guidance addressing any limitations to an exemption.
