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:

1. Sales Tax – Some states require you to collect tax on every snack or drink you sell.

2. Income Tax – All vending profits must be reported annually.

Make Taxes Easier (and Keep More Money)

✅ Use Simple Tracking – Keep your numbers straight with spreadsheets or vending software.

✅ Save Ahead – Set aside a percentage of your income regularly to dodge tax-time stress.

✅ Know Your State Laws – Some states expect tax-included pricing, others want it separately.

✅ Leverage Deductions – 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.
