(a) Marketplace facilitators shall collect and remit the sales tax on retail sales by marketplace sellers through a marketplace. Marketplace sellers shall collect and remit the sales tax on any retail sales within this State that are not made through a marketplace.

(b) A marketplace facilitator shall certify to its marketplace sellers that it will collect and remit the sales tax under this chapter on the sale of taxable items made through its marketplace. A marketplace seller that accepts a certification from a marketplace facilitator in good faith shall exclude sales made through the marketplace from its obligation as a vendor under this chapter.

(c) A marketplace facilitator is relieved from liability under this chapter if it can demonstrate to the Commissioner that its failure to collect the correct amount of tax was due to incorrect information given to the marketplace facilitator by the marketplace seller.
