Tax ID number

[wadesgirl]

I know that this has been posted before but I cannot find it! I have a booth at a church that wants a Tax ID Number. How do I get this? Do we even have one?

I know that something will probably pop up at the bottom with the "Suggested Threads" after I post this!

Pampered Chef itself has one, but you don't because you are your own business. Ask the purpose of having a number.

HO can provide copies of seller permits/insurance or you can find their Federal number on your tax statement from PC...but I'd still ask why?

There application for the booth states that it's so that every has a permit. Should I just contact HO?

We don't collect tax and send a check to the state, HO does.

That's what I thought too...

The only way you will need to charge extra tax and write a check for it is if you have cash and carry items. The last booth I worked, even though I didn't sell anything or even take orders, they made me sign a tax form and put $0 for sales.

They usually have special forms or a spot for you to note you are part of a direct selling company. Print a copy of the insurance form and give them the address and PH# for Ho and that should be sufficient along with your Consultant #.

I don't do cash and carry so I don't have to worry about that.

Why would you need to do that if you already paid tax on them when ordering?

It states in our policies that while ordering for inventory you pay tax.

Your personal tax number can be your SS# but I wouldn't give it to them unless I had to. We don't need a permit...at least in my area...to have a direct sell business.

Most cash and carry booths are wholesale items that hasn't had tax paid. Someone that sold Avon at her booth said that she just charged the extra tax that they asked for and wrote a check for it afterwards.

I called HO and had to leave a message with the tax department. Not really for sure, they transfered me twice before sending me there.

I have just always written "Company has this on file with the state and pays all monies directly." Never been questioned or had a problem.....knock on wood :)

Did you ever get an answer?

Did you ever get an answer?

Actually yes I did. The financial department finally got back to me and emailed me the certificate that I needed. You just need the one for your state.
