Marketplace tax collection obligation

In general, marketplace facilitator is a platform who contracts with third-party sellers to facilitate the sale of the sellers' products through the marketplace. Alibaba.com is thus deemed to be a marketplace facilitator to promote the sales of third-party sellers through the Alibaba.com online platform.

The marketplace facilitator rules and legislation have shifted the liability for GST collection and remittance from a third-party seller to the marketplace facilitator. As a result, Alibaba.com is responsible for collecting and remitting the GST for goods sold by third party sellers through the online platform to Australia where marketplace facilitator rules and legislation are effective.
