Mountain Man 26 Posted July 2, 2016 Report Share Posted July 2, 2016 Suppose a bait store owner approached a hobbiest (like any one of us) and asked him to design a bait, make a mold, and pour resin copies for a "bait store house brand" line he was starting. If the hobbiest was only designing and pouring the blanks that the bait store owned the design for, would the hobbiest lure maker be subject to filing excise taxes on what he charged the bait store for services rendered? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaery Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 (edited) I have a Federal Excise Tax number (FET). If I was pouring resin copies I would have to charge FET unless they had a FET number and would sign a paper stating that what they are buying from me is exempt and to be further manufactured and they will pay the FET I hope this doesn't confuse. Maybe this should have been my first answer. but hypothetically my first answer was right. Edited July 3, 2016 by dlaery 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barrybait Posted July 3, 2016 Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 I always figured if I took on a job like that for someone that I would ask them to pay me like and employee and give me a W-2 form. That way I don't need to be a business or deal with any of that. That and it seems entirely accurate. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mountain Man 26 Posted July 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2016 No confusion. Thank you for the replies! Honestly, I've not been approached by anyone. I was just wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
