from the collections of Admission tax based upon <br />Kittitas County Code 3.2 Admissions Tax section <br />3.22.030 exemptions (d) which states: <br /> <br />d. The admissions tax imposed by this ordinance shall not <br />apply to a charge or fee paid by contestants in order to <br />participate in an event or activity, if the charge or fee paid is <br />actually used to fund cash payouts to the contestants. Any <br />portion of such charge or fee that is not used to fund cash <br />payouts to the contestants is still subject to the admissions <br />tax. This exemption does not apply to charges or fees paid <br />by spectators to the event or activity, even if such charge or <br />fee is used to fund cash payouts. <br /> <br />However, if admission is going to be charged to spectators <br />then admission tax needs to be collected and remitted. Also <br />as stated above, if any portion of such charge or fee that is <br />not used to fund cash payouts to the contestants is still <br />subject to the admissions tax. <br /> <br />In 2019, there was not any admissions tax online-registration <br />or remittance of any tax collected, leaving me with the <br />assumption, the event did not have any additional funds. <br /> <br />Staff recommends approval noting that the obligations are <br />met by the Public Works, Fire Marshal and the County <br />Auditor. <br /> <br />HANDLING: Staff will notify the applicant of the Board’s decision & send <br />a copy to the Sheriff, Public Works, Public Health, Solid <br />Waste, Prosecutor, Fire Marshal, Auditor, Code Enforcement <br />and KITTCOM. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENTS: Special Event Application <br /> Memo’s from County departments <br /> Proof of Ins. & TR -Receipt <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Mandy Buchholz, Deputy Clerk of the Board II <br />
