Occasional Sellers rules:
This event is geared towards Occasional Sellers in Santa Clara County. A person who has cleared their garage of used items accumulated for their own use and who sells only those items would usually qualify as an occasional seller, provided they make sales no more than twice in a 12-month period. You are required to have a Sellers Permit if you are selling (even temporarily) new, collectible or handcrafted items, or used items you have purchased for the purpose of reselling to others. You are not required to hold a permit if you are only making occasional sales, or selling products that are not taxable when sold at retail or selling on behalf of a section 6015 retailer (e.g. Avon, Tupperware, etc.). Additional Seller’s Permit information, including the locations where individuals may obtain them, can be found at the California State Board of Equalization web site: http://www.boe.ca.gov/info/reg.htm
