Random question...how does one manage collecting and reporting sales tax on merch, especially on a multi-state tour? I'm wondering if most locales have exemption rules for small events?

And, if you did it, it would be a complete logistical and accounting nightmare. I'm not your CPA and I'm not a tax lawyer and you should do what makes you comfortable. I'm just telling you how Shannon and I have done this for the last 13 years – and also how I did it with every band that I used to tour-manage, for the 7 years that I did that full-time, which is where I learned how (not) to deal with this. Basically, as far as I can tell, no one does this except for Very Big Bands, the kind who play arenas and travel with a touring accountant. Caveat emptor. ?
