LEWISTON, Idaho (The Blaze/AP) — An Idaho family that operates a roadside pumpkin stand is scared out of its gourd after a state tax collector showed up and tried to squash the business.
The Lewiston Tribune reports the Idaho State Tax Commission has called for the closure of a family’s pumpkin stand in Lewiston, a mill city along the Snake and Clearwater rivers.
Dan and Kami Charais told the newspaper that a Tax Commission employee informed them the stand was in violation of laws and had to shut its doors.
The couple says their 4- and 6-year-old children had been carving out a niche for themselves in the local jack-o-lantern market — to raise money for school sports, they say.
A Tax Commission representative told the newspaper that even goods sold at roadside stands are taxable and that the stand did not have a proper permit.
A similar event occurred in Portland, OR in August. 7-year-old Julie Murphy’s Lemonade stand was shut down by food inspectors at a local art fair for also lacking proper permits. The county later apologized.

Posted on October 23, 2010 at 11:13amSmall people with big power. Folks like this tax official disgust me.
Last year, on a Sunday afternoon I put my garbage cans out at the curb. Apparently I put them out a bit too early. Shortly afterwards a county car rolled up to my property and slapped a warning notice on my door for this serious infraction. I was surprised inasmuch as these county employees don’t work on the weekends. Found out later that the county employee lived in my neighborhood and to justify using her county vehicle on the weekend, to take her elderly mother to the grocery store, she would hand out warning notices around the neighborhood for any trivial thing she could find.
What a parasite!

Posted on October 23, 2010 at 12:30pmIf the proceeds are all going to charity, there should be no requirement for a permit. If it truly was the children who were doing the work and keeping the money, then again no permit should be needed because the last time I checked minors don’t have the right to vote on who to put in office or what bond measure their taxes will be used for. Because children have no say in how government is run and they are supposed to receive all of their necessities from mom and dad, who do pay taxes, they should not have to pay taxes in any amount until the age of 18..err 21… I forgot, you can be labeled as a dependant now until you’re 26. So I say no taxes until the age of 26, thanks Obama – Pelosi – Reid.

Posted on October 23, 2010 at 1:26pmthe last time I got a permit – it cost me $15 for parking lot (office only open Mon-Thurs) and 4 hours waiting for my number to be called to pay the $35 permit fee which was good for only 1 day – the botanical society plant sale (which funds free plants for our parks) was rained out so we had to reschedule for the next weekend – and I just said “forget about it” on the permit and we rolled illegal. If you think that is tough – you ought to see how much driving around the city is required to open an internet business – takes 3 days and a lawyer and a notary four times because each office needs their forms notorized.. No info on website about what is required – just major run around. Guess my city just does not want us to help with the parks or for us to have new business in our town..

One of the principles of our original form of government was to keep it small and responsive to the people…These “local tax nazi” stories always pop up every year and normally the problem is resolved by an apology from the “tax nazi’ and life goes on as usual…This is the way government mistakes are supposed to be handled.
