Illinois DOR Clarifies Marketplace Facilitator Requirements

December 8, 2025, 2:59 PM UTC

The Illinois Department of Revenue (DOR) issued a general information letter clarifying the requirements for marketplace facilitator status. The Department determined that a person must carry out both activities specified in 86 Ill. Adm. Code 131.150(a)(1) to qualify as a marketplace facilitator. Specifically, a payment processor that handles only financial transactions between parties and does not list or advertise products for sale would not be considered a marketplace facilitator under Illinois law.
