US Streamlined Sales Tax Board Approves 2027 Voluntary Disclosure Programme for Remote Sellers

Summary 

  • The Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board approved a multistate voluntary disclosure programme for remote sellers with uncollected sales and use tax, running from 1 January to 31 December 2027. 
  • Participating states generally limit the lookback to 24 months and waive penalties and late-filing fees to the extent permitted by state law, but need not waive interest. 
  • The programme targets sellers whose registration obligation arises only from economic nexus; sellers registered, contacted, audited or investigated since 21 June 2018 are generally excluded. 

Extended article 

The programme offers a central route to resolve exposure created after South Dakota v. Wayfair. Participation is optional for existing full member states but mandatory for states joining as full members from 1 January 2027 and for contingent and associate members, so relief may not be available in every jurisdiction. 

Non-US businesses selling into the US should map their economic nexus history state by state and assess whether the programme is more efficient than separate state-level disclosures.
