Rep. Dan Douglas (R-Bentonville)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A bill that would require shoppers to pay Arkansas sales tax on online purchases passed in the House 54-26 Tuesday.<\/p>\n

House Bill 1388<\/a> would require out-of-state online retailers who do not already collect sales and use tax in the state to warn Arkansas customers that a sales or use tax was\u00a0due. Online retailers would also have to send the customer an annual statement detailing the online purchases and taxes owed and would have to send an annual report of sales for each customer to the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration. Arkansans would be expected to remit the sales tax with their income tax returns.<\/p>\n
