# Registering for a Tennessee sales tax permit

Tennessee's state sales tax rate is 7%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales, measured over the previous 12 months. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Tennessee registration through www.tn.gov/revenue/how-do-i----/register-a-business-online.html for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

## The Tennessee rule for out-of-state sellers

TN Department of Revenue: out-of-state dealers with more than $100,000 in sales to Tennessee customers in the previous 12 months must register and collect (sales for resale excluded; exempt sales included). Marketplace facilitators with more than $100,000 in Tennessee sales in the previous 12-month period collect beginning October 1, 2020. See Important Notice #20-14. Local rates are set by counties/some cities and cannot exceed 2.75%; state single-article rate of 2.75% applies on the portion of a single item over $1,600 up to $3,200.

Tennessee has a marketplace facilitator law, so sales through a marketplace that collects for you are handled by the marketplace.

Registration portal: [www.tn.gov/revenue/how-do-i----/register-a-business-online.html](https://www.tn.gov/revenue/how-do-i----/register-a-business-online.html). [Alabama](/bookkeeping/sales-tax-permit-registration/alabama) · [sales tax for online sellers](/bookkeeping/sales-tax-for-online-sellers)

Paperwork only: whether your sales count toward the threshold is a tax question for your preparer. State fees at cost.
