Missouri businesses are responsible for collecting sales taxes on their products and remitting to the state. However, while taxes are owed on products purchased online or by catalog from out-of-state retailers, those sellers have no responsibility for collecting them.
The passage of the Marketplace Fairness Act at the state and federal level would help level the playing field for Missouri businesses that are currently at a competitive disadvantage relative to out-of-state online retailers.
