Sales Tax

Registering with the Idaho Tax Commission:

Every booth MUST register as a Temporary Seller with the Idaho State Tax Commission. It is easy to overlook, but sales tax is required and an important thing to learn about doing business in Idaho. EVERY BOOTH needs to register with the Idaho Tax Commission prior to the event and must pay applicable taxes associated with their sales.

In order to host this event, The Kid Business Fair had to register as an event promoter with the Idaho Tax Commission and every booth that joins the event needs to register with them using our Event ID.

It’s easier than it sounds! Follow these simple instructions to get registered


Event ID: 1834614784
Start Date: June 15, 2024
End Date: June 15, 2024
Location: 14TH AVE S AND 1ST ST S
NAMPA, ID 83651-0000

Have ALL your event PARTICIPANTS do the following:

  1. Go to tax.idaho.gov/GoToTAP and under “Sellers and Promoters” click “Register as a Temporary Seller or Promoter.”
  2. Choose “Seller WITH Event ID” > “Next”
  3. Choose “I am going to an event” > “Next”
  4. Enter the Event ID > “Next”
  5. Enter your Seller Information > “Next”
  6. Choose Purpose: “I am not making taxable sales,” “I have a regular permit” or “I need a temporary permit.” > “Next”
  7. Review your entry > “Submit”
  8. Check your email account for further instructions or attached Temporary Sellers Permit (if applicable).

YES, all participants need to register but NO, Regular Sales & Use Tax holders do NOT need a Temp Permit.

Notes:

If multiple kids within your family are selling out of the same booth, just roll them up into one registration, no need to have multiple registrations for each booth.

Step #6 Clarification:

You will fall into one of three categories:

  1. “I am not making taxable sales” – Examples of this include: Demonstrating a product but not selling it, or Advertising a service.
  2. “I have a regular permit” – If you already have a permit, you don’t need a temporary one, but you still need to register, so on step #6, you’ll select “I have a regular permit”
  3. “I need a temporary permit” – Most sellers will fall under this category. You will receive a temporary seller permit which you will use to submit your sales tax after the event.
