TAX INFORMATION from Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts
If you sell taxable items at a fair, festival, antique market, trade show, arts and crafts show, gun show or other type of market or show, you may be responsible for collecting and remitting Texas sales and use tax. Depending on your business structure, you may also be responsible for paying franchise tax.
Sales Tax Responsibilities
Sellers and Event Promoters
A "seller" is a retailer, wholesaler, distributor, manufacturer or other person who sells, leases, rents or transfers ownership of taxable items or performs taxable services for consideration. "Consideration" is the total amount paid for a taxable item or taxable service before tax.
Sellers at fairs, festivals, markets and shows, including sellers from outside Texas participating at these events, are engaged in business in Texas and must have a Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit if they:
Sell taxable items or services;
Take orders for taxable items or services; or
Use the event to promote selling taxable items or services.
Event promoters (organizers) are sellers, too. They must collect and remit the sales tax on their sales, as well as sales made by individuals, dealers or salespersons at these events who do not have an active Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit and whose sales do not qualify for tax exemption. Examples of sales that qualify for tax exemption include sales made by sellers under:
An occasional sales exemption;
A tax-free sale by certain nonprofit organizations; or
A tax-free sale at a county fair by a county fair association or another qualified 501(c)(3) organization.
