I sell processed beef. I take orders at the farmers market, take the beef to the processor, and then deliver the beef to the customers home. How do I handle taxes?
Tax should be charged on the retail price of the beef based on your business location, most likely your farm. Missouri law indicates that if a person has more than one place of business that participates in the sale, the sale is deemed to be consummated at the business location of the retailer. Because you take orders at the farmers market, but then fill the orders by delivering beef from your farm to a processor, then deliver the beef to the customer’s home, more than one location is involved in the sale. Under Missouri law, the proper rate to charge is based on your business location, which is your farm.
