The Moscow Farmers Market is an event managed by the City of Moscow and is considered a Promoter-Sponsored Event. As such, the Idaho State Tax Commission requires that all Vendor register with the our event through their Taxpayer Access Point system. For a step-by-step guide on how to complete registration, review this document. 

Vendors that do not have an active Idaho Seller's permit are required to mail in their permit and sales tax payment within 15 days of the final Moscow Farmers Market (typically early to mid-November) to the Idaho State Tax Commission. 

Vendors that have an active Idaho Seller’s permit will include their market sales when filing a sales tax report.
