Sales Tax:
All vendors are required by the State of Indiana to obtain a permenant Sales Tax Permit and to collect the sales tax on all retail sales.
At the Indiana State Fairgrounds the Indiana State Sale Tax rate at the present (2013 Fall Show) is 7%. This became effective on April 01, 2011.
Indiana no longer issues temporary Sales Tax Permits. The only method is to get a permenant Sales Tax Permit. When making the application you can check which months you will be doing shows in Indiana and you will only have to report for those months or quarters of the year that include those months.
You must go online and file the Business Tax Applications (Form BT-1) and pay a $25 Nonrefundable Registration Fee. Do not pay your sales tax with your application for a permanent Sales Tax Permit. On your application you indicate when you will start doing business. After you make application for the permanent Permit and receive your permit you go online and file your sales tax.
On the application (Form BT-1) for the permenant Sales Tax Permit you are ask to supply a North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) number. While there is not one that describes show vender, a good one to use is 5996 which is for Miscellaneous Retail Sales.
To file the Form BT-1 online, go to webpage: https://secure.in.gov/apps/dor/bt1/
In the event that you have to report sales during a time period in which you did not do any shows, report zero sales. Failure to do this will result in penalties. You can call the Indiana Department of Revenue and have reporting periods changed: (317) 615-2538.
All dealers must record the customers Sales Tax ID number if making wholesale sales without collecting sales tax. You do not report these sales on the reporting forms.
