Reminders

  • The President is the only person who can sign contracts for the PTA

  • All fundraisers must be approved by a vote of the membership

  • Sales Tax

    • A Local or Council PTA is required to have a sales and use tax permit if the PTA sells tangible items, other than on the designated tax-free days.

    • Once a PTA has received a sales and use tax permit, the PTA must file the required reports, either quarterly or annually, even if the amount of sales tax collected is zero.
