What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? PA
My friend makes crafts she sells at craft shows. She has a sales tax id #. I think we are confused about use tax though. She will only buy her craft "ingredients" locally so she doesn't have to pay a use tax. I thought use taxes were only for the items she purchases online that she will use personally or for her "store" - not for the items she is using to create the products she is then selling to customers. I don't want to give her the wrong advice but also don't want to see her turn over money for taxes she doesn't owe. Could you explain please?
