TerriWV Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 When I had my candles in a consignment shop, the shop took care of the taxes part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bunny Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 Yup Yup.. the person who sells it last is responsible for the sales tax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

islandgirl Posted January 1, 2006 Share Posted January 1, 2006 What you need to do is get her Sales Tax ID #. There are forms for each state.(sales tax exempt forms).She needs to fill in her ID# and sign it stating that the store is collecting the tax on your products. That way you are not paying sales too! (Don't want to pay the gov. twice on your product:eek: ) Just keep the exempt form with her ID for your files in case you are ever audited.Then when you fill out your sales tax each quarter, their will be lines that say:Taxable sales - (Private sales you may have that you collected tax for)Non Taxable sales- Sales that have been tax exempt because the store your product is in is paying the sales tax.I hope this is making sense to you.. I know what I want to say... Just not always good at puting it in writing... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanasnecessities Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 My state tax lady took my income, (similar to yours) and said it was considered wholesale, she put it in with my wholesale accounts. That is also where she stuffed the fundraisers.Look in your government pages in your phone book, ot call your coutnry office and ask where your nearest state revenue office is. They will help you. answer all your questions and most will fill out your forms for you.I have even seen people come in with a box of invoices. They do it for free. They are already there, might as well use them. Besides who else will know exactly how it to file it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LauraInNY Posted January 2, 2006 Share Posted January 2, 2006 I sell candles and things in a craft store. When I applied for my Tax ID # I specifically asked about this and, like Island Girl said, you need to get the store's Resale ID# for your files. I think you need to do this every year to show they are still valid. This shows the gov the store is paying the tax on the item for you. The guy said that the store actually takes ownership of the product at the point of sale and pays the tax. This is specific for the state of NY but sounds like other states have the same practice.

robertgibbens Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Yup Yup.. the person who sells it last is responsible for the sales tax. You need to look into your States rules. In Hawaii I charge a wholesaler 0.5 percent excise (sales) tax and she charges the public 4.16 percent. Its not the last person to sell the candle that pays the sales tax.
