Dear Grape Festival Vendor:

Beginning January 1, 1994, Public Act 88-480 provides that any person who promotes, organizes, or provides retail selling space for concessionaires or other types of sellers at fairs, art shows, fleas markets and similar events is required to file a report with the Illinois Department of Revenue.

The following information must be reported for each vendor:

 Name of vendor’s business

 Name of the person or persons engaged in the vendors business.

 Permanent address of the business

 Illinois business tax (IBT) number of the business

 Dates and location of the event

This means that all vendors at Grape Festival or any special event held in Illinois must have an Illinois tax number on the line below your signature. If you do not have one at this time, write in “applied for” on the line provided. You will then need to write to the address below to get your tax number. There is no charge for the number.

Attention: Margaret Chapman

An Illinois Tax Number is required by law. You must bring your Illinois Tax Number with you the weekend of the Grape Festival.
