West Virginia Code 11-15B-12 – Effect of seller registration and participation in streamlined sales and use tax administration
(a) Collection of tax. — By registering under the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Agreement, the seller agrees to collect and remit sales and use taxes as levied under articles fifteen and fifteen-a of this chapter for all taxable sales into this state as well as for all other states participating in the agreement. Subsequent withdrawal or revocation of a member state does not relieve a seller of its responsibility to remit taxes previously or subsequently collected on behalf of the state.
