Garage Sales in Boise, Idaho Are Exempted from Taxes As Long As They Pass Some Qualifications
Garage sales are a hit for almost everybody who loves scoring items at a cheaper price. Garage sales are most popular in Western Countries such as the US. Sellers located in Idaho, a state in the US, need to acquire a seller’s permit before they could actually start to sell as well as collect and send sales tax. But if a seller qualifies for occasional sales exemption then you won’t need such things. The occasional sales exemption consists of multiple different guidelines. Some of the guidelines are; the garage sale runs the course of a few days, you’re doing a garage sale for someone else, doing a garage sale in a different neighborhood, etc.
According to a published article in localnews8.com, garage sales are usually done on weekends where someone sells their own items in their own neighborhood. One could also arrange a garage sale with another person, combining their things and selling them altogether. Even selling or rehoming a pet is also allowed in garage sales.
