places like sam's club demand proof that what you will be buying will be used
for the non-profit. prevents folks from buying everything in the store and
claiming it's for re-sale or

y'know, i tried to kill that because i realized i didn't remember the
conversation as it applied to non-profits. for profits have to prove somehow
that their business is going to re-sell what they purchase tax free. when
i was in insurance i couldn't get away with buying camping equipment that way.
i think it involved signing a declaration of some kind.
however, you are free to ignore this response an #107 because i can't back
up any of it.

why, no. you are free to ignore it for any reason. i know how hard it is
for you to comprehend what you read and i don't want to place any undue
burdens on you and your sagging watermellons.

I've made tax-exempt purchases for the U at Stadium Hardware. They had to
call the holder of the purchase card (who, rightly, would not let me have
it). They also made a note of the U's tax ID, for their records. Note that
the purchase was made directly by the U; they did not re-imburse me.
The UM Sailing Club pays sale tax on all of its purchases, and on the
sweatshirts, etc, it sells.
Sam's Club does not collect sales tax on sales to resellers because the
reseller collects from the final customer.

what you are elligible to purchase. i just can't remember what the hell it
is.

I'll be there, too, in spirit.
Logo looks good; I guess time/financial restrictions prevented it being in
colour. But, nice shading.

The new item for this disucssion is Summer Agora #11 / Coop #187.
( item:agora,11 or item:coop,187 )
I'll freeze this one in a couple of hours just to keep discussion
in one place. If there's anything other than oohing and aaahing over
other's logo work, please take it to the new item. Thanks!

won't be any use.]

Okie doke - thanks Eric. And, sorry if that was mentioned before - I
haven't been keeping up recently with the confs due to a new job, and a
hectic week with that and other work last week.

In terms of the sales tax collection stuff, I think people who deal a lot with
computer security tend to get confused a bit about what's required in terms
of real world security. In computer security, it seems that unless you make
something completely bullet proof, people will find a way in and do damage.
You probably wouldn't take the same approach to securing your house, because
as long as you lock the doors, people are unlikely to go in by throwing a rock
through a window, even though it wouldn't be hard to do. Likewise, I would
assume those who are accepting a tax ID number and not collecting sales tax
are probably not required to go way out of their way to prevent every
imaginable kind of fraud. Presumably they just have to make a good faith
effort, which would involve asking for the right documentaiton, and if it
wasn't obviously fake trusting that it was legitimate.

I believe "good faith effort" is precisely the language used in the Sales tax
bulletins I've read. But I could be slightly wrong.

My experience purchasing (sales_tax_exempt_reason=RESALE) is that companies
want a faxed copy of a sales tax license or a signed copy of a fill-in-the-
blanks letter which states that we're buying for resale under MI sales tax
license #########, the nature of our business is ___BLAH___, we're buying
___BLAH___ for resale, and it's our butts that the State should go after
if we fail to collect & pay sales & use taxes as required by law. Very
dull routine each time we buy something from a new vendor.
