Rep Power: 20 | Am I stupid? or just not getting this IRS example? What is a qualified physical fitness facility? A. A “qualified physical fitness facility” is a facility (i) in which the predominant business or activity is providing facilities, equipment and services to its members for purposes of exercise and physical fitness, (ii) indoor tanning services is not a substantial part of its business and, (iii) it does not offer tanning services to the public for a fee or offer different pricing options to its members based on indoor tanning services. To determine the predominant business or activity all facts and circumstances should be considered including, but not limited to, the following:
The gym up the street has both "Unlimited Tanning" and a "$5.00 Session" in their crappy little HEX and hunk of junk beds. |

If a gym charges a seperate fee for tanning, then condition (iii) is not met AND they have to collect the tan tax. Gyms in my area do that so they have to collect the tan tax. |

Rep Power: 29 | Re: Am I stupid? or just not getting this IRS example? confusion pays the bills for the state. Make it so people are late on their payments and then you can charge more. Ask for clairification and you'll be directed to a CPA for a fee and then when the CPA screws up cause the working makes no sense it's still a late fee. It's bullshot. |

Rep Power: 16 | Re: Am I stupid? or just not getting this IRS example? here is a question! What about The new Beauty Angel from Ergoline.(Red Light Therapy) We have one of them and if we sold that and had free tanning in tanning beds with it, would people still have to pay tax? |

Instead you could offer Handshakes for $15 and get a free tan. :) Call yourself a Handshake Salon or Shake & Slap Depot. You can guy 20 Handshakes and a pimpslap for $100 and you get 10 tans for free. NO TAX....HAHAHAHHA I love that idea.
