Do craft fair organizers report our sales or handle any taxes for us?
Most organizers do not handle vendor taxes, so vendors remain responsible for collection and filing.
The Narrative
The Empathy
It is easy to assume the event handles tax paperwork since they collect booth fees and run the market. You do not want to duplicate something they already do.
The Education
In most cases, organizers only manage the event and do not collect or remit sales tax on behalf of vendors. Vendors are typically responsible for registering, collecting sales tax, and filing returns. Some events may have special agreements with local authorities, so it is always worth asking.
The Solution
Ask the organizer directly if any taxes are collected on your behalf. If not, proceed as usual with your own sales tax collection and reporting. Keep a checklist of your responsibilities so each event is compliant.
