This tax immediately becomes the property of the State held in trust by the retailer. Contact the Idaho State Tax Commission office for any questions and forms at 800-972-7660.
Security: The Festival is not responsible for the loss of the exhibitor's goods or displays by theft or any other means. Each exhibitor should ensure that their goods or displays are secured against loss at all times during the Festival. Exhibitors who feature expensive or vulnerable items need to ensure that they have proper security to protect those items from damage or loss. Note that strong winds are possible and plan to secure your goods in such an event.
