Do I need a NY State tax identification number if Im only selling my own stuff?
NY State law requires anyone selling merchandise anywhere other than on their own property to have a NYS tax identification number and pay the appropriate tax on items sold. Please refer to the State tax website for specifics on this policy (http://www.tax.state.ny.us/ ). We have had State inspectors visit our show in the past. During those visits, vendors without the tax ID numbers were given a registration form and instructed to register. Inspectors do have the right to close down a vendor if they choose.
