Wisconsin Court Rules StubHub Must Collect Sales Tax on In-State Event Ticket Sales

• The Wisconsin Court of Appeals ruled that StubHub must collect and remit Wisconsin sales tax on ticket sales for in-state events from 2008 to 2013.
• StubHub facilitated nearly $154 million in ticket sales in Wisconsin during this period without remitting sales tax.
• The court found StubHub’s central role in ticket sales sufficient to impose state tax obligations, despite the company being based out of state.
• The decision upheld $8.5 million in back taxes plus $8.5 million in interest, penalties, and fees assessed by the Wisconsin Department of Revenue.
• The ruling confirms that out-of-state online marketplaces may be required to collect state sales tax when facilitating sales for in-state events.
