Message: [QUOTE="Cheriehoop, post: 2068093, member: 127"] I figured this would apply. It's from the tax.ny.gov website ST-8 bulletin. [SIZE=6][B]Taxable admission charges[/B][/SIZE] Examples of taxable admission charges include, but are not limited to, admission charges to: [LIST] [*]professional or college sporting events, including: [LIST] [*]football, baseball, basketball, or hockey games; [*]golf tournaments; [*]tennis matches; [*]stock car races; [*]track and field events; and [*]swimming or skating competitions; [/LIST] [*]amusement parks (however, see [URL='https://www.tax.ny.gov/pubs_and_bulls/tg_bulletins/st/amusement_parks.htm'][I]Amusement Parks - Admission, Ride, and Other Charges[/I] (TB-ST-30)[/URL], and [URL='https://www.tax.ny.gov/pdf/memos/sales/m03_5s.pdf']TSB-M-03(5)S[/URL], [I]Charges for Admission to a Place of Amusement and for the Use of Amusement Rides[/I]); [*]fairgrounds or exhibition halls; [*]beaches; [*]carnivals and rodeos; [*]variety shows; [*]museums, zoos, and aquariums; [*]play centers for children; [*]trade shows open to the public, such as auto, boat, or animal shows; [*]closed circuit television broadcasts of any sporting event originating outside of New York State shown at a theater or other establishment in New York; [*]haunted houses; and [*]adult entertainment establishments. [/LIST] From NYS pub 843: Example: A private New York college that is an exempt organization charges patrons for admission to a football game. Proceeds from the admission charges benefit the college athletic department. The admission charges are subject to tax because they do not exclusively benefit an elementary or secondary school. I did see on SU's Carrier dome concession info regarding non profit organization run concession stands this statement below: [B]Fundraising Opportunities [/B] Earn money for your non-profit 501(c) (3) organization by working at the Carrier Dome with the Syracuse Orange! Compensation: Earn 13.5% – 15.5% of your stands concession sales [B](less taxes and discrepancies). This sounds like sales taxes are collected in the sales revenue and deducted from the concession stand sales. [/B] It's interesting that I can't find many specific references to colleges in the NYS sales tax code or for stadium concessions though. [/QUOTE]
