BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Wayfair (NYSE: W), one of the world’s largest online destinations for the home, today issued the following statement in response to the U.S. Supreme Court decision in South Dakota v. Wayfair, Inc. on June 21, 2018:

We welcome the additional clarity provided by the Court’s decision today. Wayfair already collects and remits sales tax on approximately 80% of our orders in the United States, a number that continues to grow as we expand our logistics footprint. As a result, we do not expect today’s decision to have any noticeable impact on our business, as it may on other retailers who do not currently collect and remit sales tax.

Wayfair has long supported a legislative solution that would establish a level playing field for brick-and-mortar and online retailers by permitting states to collect sales tax on online sales. While we believe the Court was not the ideal venue for creating this level playing field, we expect that today’s decision will bring clarity and certainty to this issue.
