How do I pay sales tax that I have collected from my small business in Rhode Island?
Apr 06, 2008 by randyjess717 | Posted in United States
I have a small business run from my home. I sell retail items online and through catalogs. My website charges sales tax to people that live in certain states. I have contacted several places and no one seems to know the answer my question. They told me I dont need to do anything but I know that I am not supposed to keep the sales tax andI have no choice but to charge it. It is a very nominal amount but still not mine to keep.
Also, I did a fundraiser recently for a school which is tax exempt and I have no idea what to do with the tax exempt certificate. I didn't have to pay any tax for the order but I am told by my supplier that I need to file the certificiate.
HELP!!!!!!!
On the tax exempt thing the person who sold you the items tax free gets a cert and in case of an audit shows that no tax was collected because you were tax exempt.
Here is a link to start your search and contact on Monday.

Can i hang up flyers on the Telephone poles in Rhode Island?
Feb 07, 2007 by Omer S | Posted in Search Engine Optimization
Im actually trying to start a small business and selling like electronics
. Is it ok if i go and staple a a few flyer's on the telephone poles or a utility pole? or should I contact the Town hall?
Laws like that are usually decided by the city, not the state. You'd have to be a lot more specific or you could just google your city name and something related to flyers on telephone poles. I don't see any reason why the city laws wouldn't be archived online, preferably at the city approved and run website.
