Sawyer2112 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 I am starting a new honor box vending business. I'm curious where the best place to buy my candy/products is? I have read through the forums and read on some you should find out who the local distributor is and buy direct, and others saying unless you buy in extremely large quantities your local big box store is just as good (ex. BJ's, Costco etc). I live in central NY and anticipate a slow and steady growth of quality locations. If you buy from your local big box store, do you buy tax exempt since you are reselling the candy and collecting tax then? Thank you for any and all input!

AngryChris Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 I don't know the laws in new york except that you must give all oc your money away to the government for taxes. Jokes aside, you can generally get a tax exemption if you have a FEIN. The FEIN is your federal tax number which you can only get when you register a business as a resale business. In ohio, snacks are not subhect to state sales tax so it's not even necessary but they might be in NY. Talk to a CPA or even a convenience store owner. They would know what you need to know for snacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
