So does Nevada and Colorado. Every state is different and it is really up to
the vendor to find out what they owe and who to send it to so that they
don't "come after you." Also, sometimes there are local tax dues and all
other kinds of exciting tax stuff to learn and deal with. Claiming ignorance
is no defense against the tax man and to add insult to injury, many times
there are penalties for not filing on time. Sometimes "on time" is 30 days
after the "event." Really pays off to do a little tax research before a
show.
That's the bad news.
The good news is that many states now have online information, online
registration and online filing/pay AND that many states don't charge for a
license, just mandatory registration. Pretty painless if you take about
twenty minutes after each show and blast your money out into the great vast
internet to all these tax collectors.
Sometimes it makes more sense to file quarterly or yearly (if allowed by the
specific state), for example if three or more shows are scheduled in the
same state.
All part of the game, really, I carry five tax certificates (aka vendor
permits, aka business permits/licenses) with me everywhere I go.

Subject: [artshow_photo] Re: Collecting sales tax in Minnesota
California and Arizona both require sales tax registration, and at least
in California you have to register in the place where the show is and
charge different rates. Or include it in the price and figure it out later.
