This guide explains Idaho sales and use tax for commercial printers. Commercial printers are retailers who produce printed materials that they’ll sell. This guide refers to commercial printers and publishers as “printers.”
As a printer, you 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.
Note:
This guide doesn't apply to a business operating a private printing press that prints material only for the business's own use.
Income tax note: For multistate income tax apportionment, see Income Tax Rule 580.01.f.
