HOUSEKEEPING-2025

HB144-Small Sellers Exemption


As of yesterday, I visited the State of Idaho Tax Commission office in Twin Falls and learned the following. Gov Brad Little is signing into law effectively July 1, 2025 that small farmers market businesses cumulative gross receipts from sales not exceeding $5,000 in the current or previous calendar year do not have to collect or remit Idaho sales or use tax. 

Because many markets are starting before that date, the tax change includes markets predating the July 1st date. 

If annual sales exceed $3,000, sellers must keep sales records for at least 4 years. 

Small sellers are still required to file individual Idaho income tax returns if they meet state filing requirements under Section 63-3030, Idaho Code. 

Business entities: partnerships, corporations and limited liability companies (LLCs) do not qualify. 

Exceeding the $5,000 Threshold: if gross receipts surpass $5,000:

Apply for a temporary seller’s permit within 30 days or

Become a registered retailer by obtaining an Idaho Seller’s Permit

Begin collecting and remitting sales & use tax. 

If you are above the limit and need to register with our farmers market, I have registered it with the state tax commission and you can go to tax.idaho.gov/gototap

to register and can call me at (208)731-8394 for the Event ID number. That needs to be done prior to the market opening date on June 7th. We look forward to seeing you and are pleased with this bit of help for our smaller vendors.  Have a SUPER week!  Kathy

 Welcome to Spring! The days are getting softer, flowers are beginning to bloom and apricot trees send out the intoxicating sweetness accompanied by the humming of the bees. To walk into any greenhouse you can enjoy the delightful smells of beautiful flowers. It lightens the heart and brings untold joy. The smell of freshly turned soil and the beginning of cut grass truly smells heavenly.

The Jerome Farmers Market at Moss Greenhouses will begin in a very short time. The grounds are prepped and planting will begin in earnest this week and next. It’s a good hard work after a cold stagnating winter. Muscles get tired, but accomplishment feels good. 

The vendors are coming forward, working hard to get ready and as always, there are always new additions to each year. From now to opening day, we will recognize vendors, introduce you to them and showcase our wonderful sponsors.

So many really fine people come together to bring this activity to our area and hundreds of hours are worked harmoniously to make this such a very excellent place to be on Saturday mornings. Mark your calendars for Saturday, June 7th for our opening day. It will do your heart good to sample fine products, take home healthy food, and visit with old friends.
