REMEMBER TO HAVE FUN

SALES TAXATHS National Convention & Truck Show

11

Must I register with the Department of Revenue if I sell items only at these special events?

Yes. All Illinois business taxpayers, whether they are Illinois residents or not, must register with us for each tax type that they will collect or for any tax they are required to pay. Failing to do so is a criminal offense. You may register in advance by contacting us at 217 785-3707. If you routinely travel to special events throughout the year or if you travel to one or more events on an annual basis, you must register with us as a “changing location” filer.

To obtain the correct tax rate or for forms and information on how to file, please contact us.

In Illinois, out-of-state vendors may participate in Illinois events provided they remit Illinois sales tax to us by completing Form IDOR-6-SETR, Special Event Tax Collection Report and Payment Coupon. This also applies to Illinois vendors who are not required to be registered with us.

You can find a link to the form online at https://www2.illinois.gov/rev/forms/sales/Pages/salesandusetax.aspx or you can contact the State of Illinois Special Events Coordinator via email at Rev.Special Events@Illinois.gov or by calling weekdays during normal business hours at 1 847 294-4475.

Why are taxes frequently collected at these events?

Special events are a unique kind of business in which persons from other communities or states sell items to the public at fairs, festivals, flea mar-kets, or craft shows. Many times, the only fair and efficient way to collect the proper taxes is to have our collection agents personally register each vendor and collect taxes at the event.

Our agents may collect taxes daily or at the end of an event in order to ensure that we have collected the tax due from out-of-state or transient merchants before an event has closed.

In addition, collecting tax at an event ensures that the tax is paid at the correct rate and that any local tax is returned to the correct unit of local government. The amount of tax due is based on the location of the event. The state sales tax, which includes a local portion for the municipality or county in which the event is located, is always due. In certain locations, other locally imposed taxes, (e.g., mass transit, and home-rule tax) are also due. We collect both the state and local taxes, then return the local portions to the unit of local government where the sale was made.

If I am registered, why must I sometimes pay tax at an event instead of when I file my Form ST-1?

Collecting tax at an event ensures that the local government where the event is held receives the money that is due them. The following example illustrates this:

If you are a registered retailer who owns a craft shop in the city of Bloom-ington and you travel to Springfield for an arts and crafts fair, the sales tax due for this event should be allocated to both the state and to the city of Springfield.

If you are registered as a “single location” filer (for Bloomington only) and you report the sales from this event on your normal Form ST-1, Sales and Use Tax and E911 Surcharge Return, the city of Bloomington would errone-ously receive the percentage of local taxes that is due to Springfield.

If you travel to various locations throughout the year, you are required to register as a “changing location” filer so that you can report sales for both the location of your shop and the location where the special event takes place. In the above example, this would be Bloomington and Springfield. To report sales for more than one location, you must complete Form ST-2, Multiple Site Form, and attach it to your Form ST-1.

If you are a registered retailer and you pay tax to a collection agent at a special event, the following steps describe how to file your Form ST-1 for the tax period during which the special event took place.

Include the receipts from the special event in your total receipts reported on Line 1.

Write the total amount of the receipts, including tax, from the special event on Line 16 (other) of Schedule A. Identify this figure as “special event collections.” Write this sum of your total deductions, including tax, on Line 2.

Figure the tax due based on the resulting amount of receipts in Line 3.

If you are required to file a Form ST-2 schedule, do not report the receipts from the special event on your ST-2.

Do not show any tax you paid at the event as a credit on the front of your return.
