Well,the Jig is Up...

Seems the city of Spokane has seen a new way to
get more money. That is taxing the vendors who sell
at the local Farmer's Market that happens to be on
church property. In their parking lot.

When this hits, you can bet other towns will follow,
and of course, drift across the state line to Idaho.

I realize that some of these people who sell their
veggie, fruit and etc. it is a business for them. But
there is also some little old ladies or men who grows
extra stuff in their gardens and take it down to the
Farmer's Market to make pocket change. Well, that
will have to stop. As they don't make enough to pay
the taxes on it.

Who collects it? Do they have an envelope they mail off?
And are Yard Sales close behind in the tax venue?

Yard sales well it depends where you live we can only have 2 a year and must get permission and fill out paperwork at the police station now. Crafts I can't sell them at all not even at a craft fair or yard sale if I make them reason I need a tax number and need to charge tax so I no longer sell them. It isn't worth the money to get the tax papers and the paperwork involved for the few items i make. See they are only hurting the little person not the people that own big stores
