[Northkeep] taxes ??

[Stephanie Drake]

Because that's the way the law is written.  Fund raising for a not for profit, or 501C3 Corporation, which the SCA is, is not subject to sales tax.  Fund raising for yourself is.  Since the state of OK has passed a law requiring the group organizing an event to spend $50 for a permit and then to actually collect the sales tax and submit it to the state, having merchants at an event is a bit of an undertaking.  BTW, all of the fundraisers at KASMAT are going to the Kingdom, to the A&S Fund, I believe.

greetings
 
hate to be the one to bring this up , but ....
moonshadow kas.mat.rh says that due to ok's new tax laws they can't have merchants at the event...
and yet they have 3/4 page of " fund raisers " 
don't people selling goods and services as fund raisers have to follow the same rules and laws as " merchants " ??
in as much as having to collect taxes , and show proof of non profit status for the group that they are raising funds for ???
or can i go sell items to raise funds to pay my bills .??
 
someone please enlighten me , as it makes no sense to me why fund raisers are ok , but merchants aren't ..
 
just real curious
be safe, be happy , have fun
