What is the economic nexus threshold in Alaska?
$100,000 in sales, effective February 2020. Adopted locally via the ARSSTC uniform code; the 200-transaction threshold was repealed effective January 1, 2025. Once the threshold is crossed, remote sellers must register with the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission (ARSSTC) and begin collecting.
What is the sales tax rate in Alaska?
Alaska has no state-level rate — sales tax is levied locally. No state sales tax, but 100+ boroughs and cities levy local rates up to ~7.5%.
Do marketplace facilitators collect Alaska sales tax?
Yes (via ARSSTC member jurisdictions). Direct (non-marketplace) sales remain the seller’s obligation.
How does a remote seller register for Alaska sales tax?
