A remote seller meeting the threshold registers with the ARSSTC and collects and remits the member municipalities' local sales taxes to the Commission, which distributes them. The official material read does not set a grace period between meeting the threshold and the start of collection, so the prudent reading is that registration and collection are due once the threshold is met; confirm the start date with the state before relying on any delay.
The graph holds this control, the 0 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
