# Registering for a Wisconsin sales tax permit

Wisconsin's state sales tax rate is 5%, local taxes come on top, and its remote seller threshold is $100,000 in sales, measured over the previous or current calendar year. If your business has crossed it and needs a permit, we prepare and submit the Wisconsin registration through www.revenue.wi.gov/Pages/Businesses/New-Business-home.aspx for $99, plus any state fee at cost.

## Digital products in Wisconsin

Wisconsin DOR: tax applies to "Specified digital goods, additional digital goods, and digital codes" (e.g., a video game transferred electronically).

## Wisconsin's threshold, in its own words

Wisconsin DOR: remote sellers with gross sales into Wisconsin (including resale, taxable and exempt sales) exceeding $100,000 in the previous or current calendar year. The 200-transaction threshold was eliminated effective February 20, 2021. State rate 5%; 0.5% county tax in counties that adopted it (DOR guidance document 100047, April 20, 2020).

## What filing looks like afterward

Wisconsin DOR assigns the filing frequency "based on the annual dollar amount of their taxable sales" and may review it annually based on filing history.

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

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