I stopped by SAFO today to ask Kerri about this since it seems like there=
=20
must be a way.
As Ellen's mail indicated, taking sales tax is complicated. But it's=20
possible! Kerri has been looking into doing something similar for another=
=20
student group so she's been familiarizing herself with this. She said if=
=20
we ask in a week or two she may have an easy way for us to report this and=
=20
take the sales tax when needed.
Meanwhile, there are two ways that we can do this for people at MIT.
The first is to take techcash for the job - this is internal to MIT so we=
=20
avoid the tax issue.
The second is to provide the service for free and accept a donation.=20
While legal, Kerri suggested only doing this as a stopgap and recommended=
=20
the TechCash solution over it.
As for external jobs from not-MIT people such as Mims' business cards, she=
=20
suggested we hold off until we can accept sales tax
Anyway, this was all just a quick meeting with Kerri since i was in the=20
building when I saw this. Cat, it's up to you what you want to do.
