Temporary Seller Permit

$15.00

Who needs the $15 Temporary Sellers Permit?

Essentially — this applies to everyone.

Your Nevada State Business License is completely separate from the City of Reno Business License. You are not required by the Nevada Department of Taxation to hold a City of Reno Business License. However, you are required by the City of Reno to be licensed while conducting business within Reno city limits.

Here’s how this works within the Seller Contract:

Option 1 (Fully Licensed Vendor)

This applies to vendors who hold:

• A Nevada State Business License

• A Nevada Sales & Use Tax Permit

• A City of Reno Business License

If you hold all three, you are considered fully licensed and do not need to purchase the $15 Temporary City of Reno Seller’s Permit for each event.

All other vendors (those who do not hold a City of Reno Business License):

You must purchase the $15 Temporary City of Reno Seller’s Permit as an add-on to your vendor ticket for each individual show.

RAF collects that $15 and submits the payment directly to the City of Reno in your name and on your behalf.

Can I vend without any licensing?

Yes — you absolutely can.

If you’re planning to obtain the required licenses but aren’t ready yet, you are allowed to participate in two shows without licensing.

Here’s how that works:

• Complete and sign Page 8 of the Seller Contract.

• Leave the licensing fields blank

• Send Page 8 back to email provided

• PURCHASE THE $15 TEMPORARY SELLER PERMIT

After you’ve participated in two shows, you’ll need to complete the licensing steps outlined in the contract. Once those are secured, you’ll resend Page 8 of the Seller Contract, this time filling in the permit and license numbers where those lines were previously left blank.

***IMPORTANT*** Vendors will need to bring a check with them to complete at the end of the event and return directly to the promoter for the amount of sales tax collected at the show. At that time, vendors will also receive a “One Time Sales Tax Return” form. On this form, vendors will:

• Write in your Gross Taxable Sales

• Calculate and enter your Sales Tax Due

• Sign the form

Washoe County sales tax rate: 8.265%

Example:

Gross Taxable Sales: $415.00

Sales Tax Due: $34.30

Once you have your own Sales and Use Tax Permit, you will no longer be obligated to report these numbers to me, you’ll file them individually.

At the Reno Antique Faire, vendors are responsible for collecting and remitting sales tax, not the event organizers. All vendors must comply with Nevada sales and use tax laws, regardless of how often they participate.


Rules for temporary vendors:

Your tax collection and reporting requirements depend on how frequently you sell at events in Nevada.

If you sell at two or more events in Nevada within a 12-month period, you are considered a regular retailer and must:

Obtain a permanent Nevada sales tax permit.
Collect the state and local sales tax on all sales.
File sales and use tax returns on a regular basis (e.g., monthly, quarterly, or annually), depending on your sales volume.


Sales tax rate in Reno:

For all sales made in Reno, vendors must charge the combined state and local sales tax rate, which is currently 8.27%. This includes the state sales tax and the local tax rates for Washoe County.


In addition to sales tax, the Reno Antique Faire requires antique/vintage vendors to obtain either:

A valid City of Reno business license.

A $15 Seller Permit for the event, which the Reno Antique Faire will submit to the city on your behalf.
