However local jurisdictions within Alaska might impose a sales and use tax. Each jurisdiction can define what it means to be doing business in that location and whether sales tax applies. Many local jurisdictions in Alaska have chosen to adopt the [Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission (ARSSTC)](https://arsstc.org/business-sellers/) uniform tax code. This includes using state-wide thresholds to determine whether a business needs to pay tax there. Remote sellers must register to collect and remit tax in Alaska when, in the previous or current calendar year, they meet or exceed a sales threshold of 100,000 USD. The threshold includes gross sales, including marketplace sales. Alaska’s economic nexus law differs from other economic nexus laws. The state passed the Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Code on January 6, 2020. However, local jurisdictions decide whether to adopt the code. After a local jurisdiction adopts the code, businesses have 30 days to begin collecting sales tax from Alaska customers in that jurisdiction. See the [Needs attention](https://dashboard.stripe.com/tax/locations?primary_tab=needs_attention) tab to get insights about your sales into the state and potential tax registration obligations in Alaska. Stripe also notifies you with email and Dashboard alerts when you need to register to collect tax. Learn more about how the [monitoring tool works](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/monitoring.md). ### Local sales tax Local jurisdictions within Alaska impose their own sales and use taxes. Many have adopted the [Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission (ARSSTC)](https://arsstc.org/business-sellers/) uniform tax code, while others administer their taxes independently. Stripe calculates local taxes for jurisdictions where you’ve added a registration. Add a registration for each local jurisdiction where you want to collect tax. To view supported jurisdictions, see [Registration types](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/registering.md?state=AK&type=home_rule_tax#registration-types). Home rule tax registrations aren’t available for Custom or Express [Connect](https://docs.stripe.com/connect.md) accounts. For these account types, the Alaska state registration includes all jurisdictions in the state. ## Register to collect tax If you’re a remote seller, [Stripe can register with the local tax authorities](https://docs.stripe.com/tax/use-stripe-to-register.md) for you. Register for sales tax in Alaska at the tax authority: - Remote sellers can register with the [Alaska Remote Seller Sales Tax Commission](https://arsstc.munirevs.com/) - Businesses with a physical presence in the state need to [register in that particular location](https://arsstc.org/business-sellers/).
