I know of a few artists that have a retail art supply store clear the credit card purchase for them so the store performs the sales tax payment. The store then pays the artist when the credit card clears. 10% is all the service runs and it keeps your books legal and easy.

Thanks Alyson. This is a good post and very important for artists. There are some cultural art districts in Louisiana where artists and galleries are tax exempt for original works of art. It is defined by geography and you have to fill out paperwork on each sale. Other states may have this as well. If you contact your department of state, they will be able to tell you if it is offered.

Thanks for the reminder. I need to do some brush up on my own state of Illinois along wiht what’s required by other states if I’m in art fairs in those states.
