Starting August 26, 2025, Meta (Facebook & Instagram) is no longer acting as a marketplace facilitator for orders placed through the Facebook & Instagram sales channel. This means that merchants are now responsible for tax collection and filing on these orders, rather than Meta handling tax obligations.
What's changed:
- Orders placed on or after August 26, 2025 through Facebook & Instagram will show channel_liable: false in your order data
What stays the same:
- Orders placed before August 26, 2025 remain Meta's responsibility for tax filing (channel_liable: true)
- No changes to your Facebook & Instagram sales channel setup
