π Keep More of Your Vending Profits (Legally)
Nobody likes taxes, but if youβre in vending, ignoring them can cost you BIG.

Is Your Vending Business Taxable?
The IRS considers vending machine income taxable, just like any other business.
But how much you owe depends on two key taxes:
Sales Tax β Some states require you to collect tax on every snack or drink you sell.
Income Tax β All vending profits must be reported annually.

Make Taxes Easier (and Keep More Money)
β Use Simple Tracking β Keep your numbers straight with spreadsheets or vending software.
β Save Ahead β Set aside a percentage of your income regularly to dodge tax-time stress.
β Know Your State Laws β Some states expect tax-included pricing, others want it separately.
β Leverage Deductions β Write off vending machines, maintenance costs, mileage, and more.

Do You Really Need an LLC?
An LLC isn't required to start vending, but it can help:
Reduce your tax liability
Protect your personal assets
Increase your business credibility
If you're serious about growing your business, an LLC is worth considering.
