Temporary Sales Tax License (Directly from tax.utah.gov/sales/specialevents)
All vendors participating in special events are required to obtain a Temporary Sales Tax License and Special Return (TC-790C) from the Utah State Tax Commission. The license/return is only good for the event listed on the form and is sent out by the Utah State Tax Commission once the event promoter remits their event participant list TC-192 SSE.
The promoter of an organized event is required to obtain the following information from each vendor participating in the event.
Name, address, and telephone number;
Sales Special Event Tax ID (SSE), or Social Security Number (SSN), or Employer Identification Number (EIN) or Sales Tax Account ID (STC);
What product you are selling;
Email address;
The licensing departments of local governments may contact the Tax Commission before issuing business licenses to ensure all vendors selling within their jurisdiction have a valid sales tax number.
If the event promoter is non compliant with their Special Event Registration you can obtain the license by contacting the Special Events Unit in the Salt Lake Office at 801-297-6303 or at 1-800-662-4335, ext. 6303.
Ogden Pride is in the process for this years festival in taking the steps to insure our compliance with the Utah Special Events Tax Commission and will/have already provided the required information regarding our 2026 Ogden Pride Festival. The steps to completing the event information will be transmitted through their electronic system upon closing of our festival, as required by law. We will have more details on this step at our MANDATORY vendor meeting in September.
