## Selling into Anchorage: Alaska rules

- **Economic nexus:** Alaska has no state-level economic nexus because there is no state sales tax. Local collection is coordinated through the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission (ARSSTC), whose uniform code sets a single statewide threshold of $100,000 in gross statewide sales in the current or previous calendar year.
- **Filing:** Remote sellers file through the ARSSTC, typically monthly, with returns generally due the last day of the month following the reporting period. Individual local jurisdictions that don't participate in the ARSSTC may set their own deadlines.
