  No, PayPal does not remit sales tax to the state for cryptocurrency purchases. PayPal is not considered a seller in cryptocurrency transactions but rather a payment processor. Therefore, it is the responsibility of the seller to collect and remit the sales tax to the state, if applicable. PayPal's role is to facilitate the transaction and provide a secure payment platform for buyers and sellers.
