Instructions for SCDOR-111 RS Remote Seller Sales and Use Tax Registration
Register online at dor.sc.gov/register.
Choose Remote Seller (out-of-state business) application to get started.
The application should be completed by remote sellers only. A retailer with physical presence in South Carolina
or currently licensed with the SCDOR for Sales and Use Tax purposes should not use this application.
A remote seller is a retailer with no physical presence in South Carolina. A remote seller with substantial economic nexus
with South Carolina is responsible for obtaining a Retail License and paying South Carolina Sales and Use Tax. A remote
seller has economic nexus with South Carolina when they have gross revenue of sales of tangible personal property into
South Carolina greater than $100,000 in the previous calendar year or the current calendar year. See the instructions for
Line 9 to get additional information on when a remote seller is required to obtain a Retail License.
The $100,000 economic nexus standard for a remote seller includes:
• The total gross revenue from all sales of tangible personal property delivered into South Carolina, including all
taxable retail sales, exempt retail sales, and wholesale sales of tangible personal property
• The total gross revenue from all sales of products transferred electronically into South Carolina, whether or not
the transfer of such product is subject to South Carolina Sales and Use Tax, and
• The total gross revenue from all services delivered into South Carolina, whether or not the service is subject to
South Carolina Sales and Use Tax.
Line 9 – Enter the requested open date for a South Carolina Retail License.
For example, a remote seller with economic nexus in calendar year 2017, or from January 1, 2018 through
September 30, 2018, is responsible for remitting the Sales and Use Tax for all taxable sales made into South
Carolina beginning November 1, 2018. Therefore, the requested open date on Line 9 should be November 1,
2018. A remote seller who establishes economic nexus in South Carolina on December 10, 2018 should
indicate an open date of February 1, 2019 on Line 9.
If the date is missing, we will reject your application.
Line 10 – Enter the physical location of the business (street address required, no PO box).
If the address is missing, we will reject your application.
Line 12 – Check the box representing where the products are sold. If a marketplace, indicate website of marketplace in
the space provided. Check Yes if the marketplace is collecting Sales and Use Tax on your products. If not,
check No. If Other, describe in the space provided.
Line 13 – Enter the total gross revenue of sales in SC for the prior and current year in the space provided. Total gross
revenue includes sales on your own website and sales through a marketplace. For more information, see
Revenue Ruling #18-14, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Line 14 – Check the box representing whether or not you sell tobacco products. For more information, see SC Code
Section 16-17-501, available at dor.sc.gov/policy.
Signature: This application must be signed by the owner, partner, or corporate officer. If the signature or $50.00
payment is missing, we will reject your application.
Sales Tax returns are due based on the requested open date from Line 9. The initial return is due by the 20th of the
month following the requested open date. For example, if your requested open date is November 1, 2018, your first return
would be due by December 20, 2018. If a Retail License is approved, it does not expire and your company will be required
to file monthly Sales Tax returns until the license is closed.
