As a sales tax number holder who is low enough volume to only need to file annually, I keep track of all the places I go set up and report to the state showing around $100, $120 in taxes due each year. The tax year runs March 1 to Feb 28 (29). Some counties and cities have different rates so you have to keep track and report that way.
I knew 2020 would be down but I was even surprised at how much. From 25 or so events in about 10 separate taxing districts I did three small ones and the total in taxes was just under $20. Of the three one was just before the first lockdown nonsense started.
I kind of hope as the state gets a clue as everyone else who files annually turns their reports in (due in a couple days) and they see a huge drop in revenue.
It's true I've sold more on eBay to make up the difference, but eBay handles taxes like Amazon - they collect, they pay, and I never handle that part of the money. So I expect all the traveling vendors and all the smaller stores (pretty much anyone under close to $40,000 in sales) will show much lower numbers for their in person transactions.
Fuel purchases are still way down. What about all those massive shortfalls?
Travel, food, and entertainment industry always have had a lot of taxes imposed by locals.
Those are all down as well.
These states will be pushing for federal bailouts. They have to. Uniparty will deliver. Plan accordingly.
