Walmart State Tax Remittance Configuration in NetSuite

Walmart State Tax Remittance ensures that sales tax is handled correctly for orders shipped to various states where Walmart is responsible for tax collection. This feature is crucial for compliance with state-specific laws, particularly for marketplace facilitators like Walmart.

How Does Walmart State Tax Remittance Work?

As mandated by law, Walmart collects and remits state sales tax on taxable marketplace sales shipped to specific states. The detailed list of these states can be found in Walmart's Sales Tax Collection Overview.

By default, the NetSuite Connector is configured to exclude tax from posting on orders for which Walmart has already remitted tax. Unlike some other platforms, Walmart does not indicate in the order data whether tax has been remitted. Instead, NetSuite Connector relies on an internal list of states where Walmart is known to remit tax to determine when to apply this exemption.

Posting Orders with Tax Exemption

When the Omit Remitted Tax When Posting Walmart Orders feature is enabled, if an order originates from one of the specified states, NetSuite Connector will post that order with a tax rate of 0.00 and mark isTaxable as false. This configuration streamlines the order processing workflow by eliminating unnecessary tax calculations for those orders.

Users can still view the tax amount relevant to each order in the NetSuite Connector interface. This can be done by navigating to the Orders page and selecting Edit from the Action drop-down menu next to the order in question.
