Tax Implications of Doing a Catalog Show Across States

In summary, a catalog show is a sales event where products are displayed from a company's catalog and orders are taken from customers. This event can have tax implications, particularly when sales are made across state lines. Whether you need to collect sales tax for out-of-state customers depends on the specific state laws. In addition to sales tax, you may also need to consider income tax on any profits earned from the catalog show. The requirement for registering for a sales tax permit in each state also varies, with some states having a threshold for the amount of sales that triggers the need for a permit. To ensure compliance with all tax laws, it is important to research and understand the laws of each state and consider consulting with a tax professional for guidance.

I have someone doing a catalog show with me. She lives in a different state than I do. Do the customers get charged the sales tax from her state or mine?
 
Her state. There is a section on pamperedchef.com that you can look up her tax rate and then just enter it when you first add her show.

Great Thanks!!
 
You also want to check and make sure if the state charges tax on shipping or not.
 
Hi there! Thank you for reaching out about your catalog show. Typically, customers will be charged sales tax based on the state where the order is being shipped to. So in this case, your customer would be charged sales tax based on their state's tax laws. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Happy selling!
 

1. What is a catalog show and how does it impact my tax obligations?

A catalog show is a type of sales event where a consultant or party host displays products from a company's catalog and takes orders from customers. This event can potentially create tax implications, as it involves sales across state lines.

2. Do I have to collect sales tax for catalog orders placed from out-of-state customers?

It depends on the state where the customer is located. Some states require out-of-state sellers to collect and remit sales tax for orders placed by their residents, while others do not. It is important to research the specific sales tax laws of each state where you have potential customers.

3. Are there any other taxes that I need to be aware of when doing a catalog show across states?

In addition to sales tax, you may also need to consider income tax. If you are a consultant or independent contractor, you may be responsible for reporting and paying income tax on any profits earned from the catalog show. Again, this will depend on the specific tax laws of each state.

4. Do I need to register for a sales tax permit in every state where I have customers from a catalog show?

It depends on the state. Some states have a threshold for the amount of sales or transactions that trigger the requirement to register for a sales tax permit. If you exceed this threshold in a state, you will need to register for a permit and collect sales tax from customers in that state.

5. How can I ensure that I am in compliance with all tax laws when doing a catalog show across states?

The best way to ensure compliance is to research and understand the tax laws of each state where you have potential customers. You may also consider consulting with a tax professional who can provide guidance and help you navigate any complex tax implications of doing a catalog show across states.
