[bars] Table at HamXposition

[gary at garyfrascarelli.com]

I've been involved with the Topsfield Fair for many years.....the many vendors there must collect sales tax on hard goods....and the tax man comes around 3 times a week and collects.

Here’s the applicable regulation. I suspect as Goodwill et al. while non profits, they in their regular course of business sell goods, they must collect sales tax. As MMRA isn’t hosting a table, it’s academic.

You are incorrect.   ANY sales of goods are taxable no matter who is selling them.  Example...the St Vincent DePaul thrift stores and the Goodwill thrift stores, both non profit 501c3 entities must charge sales tax

Cash or any other form of payment is ok. The sales would be formally exempt from sales tax.

Never ever has this been an issue it's a cash transaction Gary.

Good question. I have 5 grounding radios to sell and a boatload of scanners and tech. I would like to know the answer also.

Will MMRA or BARS have a table at the flea market for things members want to sell?
