Do Hosts Pay Taxes on Free and Discounted Products?

In summary, the tax rate for free products received as a host of a Pampered Chef party varies by state and is based on the retail value of the products. Hosts are required to pay tax on the free products as they are considered income. The tax is calculated by multiplying the retail value by the applicable tax rate. As of 2020, the tax is now based on retail value and hosts may have the option to pay it directly to Pampered Chef. The tax on free products cannot be claimed as a deduction on taxes.

Just checking since it has been awhile since I have submitted a show...and you never know when things are going to change.

Hosts still don't pay tax on the free products, right?

Also, they only pay tax on the discounted price of the half price/host special items?

THANKS!
 
Yes that is correct!
