[Tax Services](https://help.globalfy.com/help-center/frequently-asked-questions?hsLang=en#tax-services) # When do I need to pay the Sales Tax? ## Sales Tax is applied to the final consumer. Therefore, companies that sell physical products directly to consumers are responsible for **collecting the tax from customers and remitting it to the state**. --- ### Filing deadlines Sales Tax returns can be filed **monthly, quarterly, or annually**, depending on the regulations of each state. Keep in mind that every state has its own rules and requirements, so it is essential to evaluate each case individually. --- ### Marketplace Facilitators If a company operates exclusively through a **Marketplace Facilitator** (such as Amazon, eBay, or Etsy), which manages all sales tax obligations, the company generally does **not need to register for sales tax**. However, registration may still be required for other state business obligations or if the company engages in additional taxable sales outside the marketplace. --- ### Learn more For further details and to understand how to manage this process with **Globalfy**, please refer to the following article: - [Sales Tax in the United States](https://help.globalfy.com/help-center/sales-tax-in-the-united-states?hsLang=en)   ![](https://help.globalfy.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Mar-01-2026-02-34-41-9697-AM.png?width=670&height=36&name=undefined-Mar-01-2026-02-34-41-9697-AM.png)   If you still have any questions or need further assistance with this topic, we are here to help! ✉️ Simply contact us via email at **help@globalfy.com** or send a WhatsApp message to **+1 (866) 428-2030**.
