- Texas proposes to stop applying sales tax to marketplace and digital platform fees currently treated as taxable data processing services.
- The change would exempt commissions, booking fees, and similar charges charged by platforms to third-party providers, including fees on Amazon, eBay, Etsy, food delivery, ride-hailing, short-term rentals, vehicle sharing, pet care, and household service platforms.
- Under current rules, tax can apply both to the underlying sale and to platform fees charged to sellers/drivers/restaurants; the proposal would preserve tax on the underlying transaction but remove it from the platform fee itself.
- The Comptroller will seek to amend Rule 3.330 of the Texas Administrative Code, with the proposal to be filed and then opened for a 30-day public comment period.
