(2) Provides access to payment processing services, either directly or indirectly.
(3) Charges, collects, or otherwise receives fees or other consideration for transactions made on its electronic marketplace.
(b) Regardless of whether a transaction under subsection (a) was made by the marketplace facilitator on its own behalf or facilitated on behalf of a seller, a marketplace facilitator is required to do the following with each retail transaction made on its marketplace:
(1) Collect and remit the gross retail tax, even if a seller for whom a transaction was facilitated:
(A) does not have a registered retail merchant certificate; or
(B) would not have been required to collect gross retail tax had the transaction not been facilitated by the marketplace facilitator.
(2) Comply with all applicable procedures and requirements imposed under this article as the retail merchant in such transaction.
(c) The gross retail income from a transaction under this section is equal to the total amount of consideration paid by the purchaser, including the payment of any fee, commission, or other charge by the marketplace facilitator, except that the gross retail income does not include any taxes on the transaction that are imposed directly on the consumer other than taxes under section 1(f)(2) of this chapter.
