This guide explains sales and use tax laws for grocers. Grocers are retailers who are primarily involved in selling food for home preparation and consumption.
Grocers must have a valid seller’s permit, collect sales tax, file a sales tax return, and forward the tax to the Tax Commission. See our Retailers guide for information about getting an Idaho seller’s permit, doing business in Idaho, and much more.

If you operate a café, please read our Food, Meals and Drink guide.
