don't you have a sales permit or resale license or whatever PA calls it? Even the distibutors I talk smack about are willing to sell me my retail stuff tax exempt as long as I bring in my resale permit!

It blows my mind that supply stores in PA will not sell to you tax exempt even if you are purchasing 20 bottles of one color of polish and it's obvious that you are reselling them. Soooooooooooo PA gets sales tax twice, once when you purchase the item for wholesale and then again when you sell it, so in essense, most salons pay sales tax on one and a half of the value of the retail item. I adjust my totals in the end so that they are only getting what they SHOULD have gotten. They can go ahead and audit me because I can prove how much I paid for sales tax originally, which should have been tax exempt.

Complicates things in a big way! I'm thinking they audit the suppliers, or make the suppliers report who they sold to "out of state and out of their local tax zone" and then go after them to collect the tax. Its not that they are going thru your drawers at night, looking for those receipts, but they do force the sellers to disclose who and where they sold products to so they can collect the taxes from the end user, whereever they may be! :-( What are we supposed to do? Figure out what we owe on each receipt and send it to the state tax department when the order arrives? Geesh.. makes your head swim!

Lynnette: How did the state know where you've been shopping? Unless you get audited, they wouldn't see your receipts. I hear rumors about this in CA too, but I can't figure out how they determine these things. But then again-- CA has a habit of sending out "We think you owe us more money" letters periodically. Apparently when you get a license from the state, it is a guarantee that you will make a certain amount of money. So if you're state tax return claims less than the state "estimates" people in your profession make on average? You get a "we think you owe us more money" letter. Then you have to copy your tax return-- which they already have-- and write them a "just because I have a manicurist license doesn't mean I'm a manicurist" or "...doesn't mean I work full time" or "doesn't mean I'm any good at it" or whatever your reason is for not making the amount of money that the state thinks you should be paying taxes on. Oh my-- I seem to have gone off on a tangent! Anyway, I was wondering how PA decided you owed them money?
