An outstate business making deliveries to Minnesota customers in its own trucks must collect and remit the sales tax imposed on Minnesota buyers.
When a manufacturer's representative takes the order and bills the purchaser and collects for the merchandise, the representative is then considered a retailer and is required to have a permit and collect the sales tax from the customer.
