Registering for a Vermont sales tax permit
Vermont's state sales tax rate is 6%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales or 200 transactions, measured over the 12 months preceding the monthly period (tested at the end of each quarter). If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Vermont registration through myvtax.vermont.gov/_ for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

Vermont's threshold, in its own words
Vermont Department of Taxes: at least $100,000 in sales OR at least 200 individual sales transactions during the 12-month period preceding the monthly period (32 V.S.A. 9701(9)(F)); remote seller collection began July 1, 2018. Sellers selling only through a marketplace must register if they meet the threshold unless the marketplace collects Vermont tax for them. A separate Local Option Tax page applies to local taxes.
After the permit is issued
Filing frequency depends on the prior calendar year's sales tax liability; sellers meeting the remote seller threshold will most likely need to file monthly (Vermont Department of Taxes).
Digital products in Vermont
Vermont Department of Taxes defines tangible personal property to include prewritten computer software; other digital products are not addressed on the page checked.
Vermont has a marketplace facilitator law, so sales through a marketplace that collects for you are handled by the marketplace.
