Careers: Photography - sales tax


Expert: Don Wood - 11/5/2009

Question
I am a NY based photographer who shot an event here in NY. A 3rd party company from MD has contacted me to purchase images from the event. The images will be delivered via FTP download or on CD. They will be using the images on the web and in national advertisements. Do I need to charge this company NYS sales tax? They are not the ones who paid for my original services.

Thank you.

Answer
Go to a lawyer for the answer to this one. Be sure to charge enough to compensate you for your expertise. Obtain the necessary permissions from the recognizable people in the pictures to protect yourself and the company publishing the pictures from lawsuits. Good luck to you! Sorry to not be able to help you further.
