Forgive me for replying Twitter style...<BR/><BR/>@Chris Immunity - Thank you very much - I just opened your site in a new tab to check out once I reply to these. =)<BR/><BR/>@Evan I'd rather not say, just to not cause any drama but I have been to the warehouse live and their staff was amazing to me. I will be there again with Josh Radin in February.<BR/><BR/>@ Pete - I usually work for a merchandise company or bands with CPA's or Business Managers/Accountants and I submit the information to them and after that... It's beyond me what happens.<BR/><BR/>I do know that some venues that ALWAYS retain do so because the IRS has come after them asking for proof that the artist retained the sales tax so having their own EIN Number, the venue remits the tax each month to stay clear of fines. Its literally 50/50 on who retains it seems.<BR/><BR/>@LeahP! Which venue?

As a merch girl, only have encountered one band so far that didn't have any idea about house merch sales and was actually just so upset at the idea of not selling their own swag and giving a percentage. We do our math the same way you say to and it was exciting to see that it's legit what we do since I haven't experienced it anywhere else!

The instructor said that playing at different venues means I should have a special sales tax license that was far more expensive than our meager merch sales are worth.<BR/><BR/>Do you report sales tax to <I>each and every</I> city and county in while you sell? Aside from the venue retaining the sales tax, what is the proper way to do this?<BR/><BR/>-pete // Speakeasy, TigerAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891914756835020473.post-31164260974385284962008-12-23T17:34:00.000-08:002008-12-23T17:34:00.000-08:00which venue was it? warehouse live?which venue was it? warehouse live?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00476599073366868467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891914756835020473.post-61041677077224808452008-12-23T11:55:00.000-08:002008-12-23T11:55:00.000-08:00steve moakler + brighten = <3some of the bests....steve moakler + brighten = <3<BR/><BR/>some of the bests. <BR/><BR/><BR/>this is my first time reading your blog and i can't wait to check back very often to see what else you've discussed!<BR/><BR/>thanks!! :)Tanya Gelmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05803187294783506845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891914756835020473.post-22558929981118525852008-12-23T07:14:00.000-08:002008-12-23T07:14:00.000-08:00This article really opened my eyes since this is w...This article really opened my eyes since this is what I want to do when I graduate; Thanks for the information and I'm looking forward to more articles like this one.jebus1988https://www.blogger.com/profile/00239693492987393668noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891914756835020473.post-22060811802420806662008-12-23T04:48:00.000-08:002008-12-23T04:48:00.000-08:00Hey, I really liked this article and i linked it o...Hey, I really liked this article and i linked it on my site.<BR/><BR/>Http://www.chrisimmunity.comChris Immunityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08869236646583812264noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891914756835020473.post-66508255495584700242008-12-01T09:47:00.000-08:002008-12-01T09:47:00.000-08:00Hey Joe I can't wait to see you in Tucson with Ice...Hey Joe I can't wait to see you in Tucson with Ice Cube. <BR/><BR/>Are we down for another diner and movie date in Toledo over the holidays again this year?Shay Howehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12370620573252248869noreply@blogger.com
