Re: Negotiating with Cash

It is rather common practice for vendors to offer tax breaks when their customers pay cash. Some vendors will only allow up to a certain amount though.

Re: Negotiating with Cash

My hall wouldn't drop the tax but gave a substantial break on the price instead. It must be paid in all cash.

Re: Negotiating with Cash

I have experienced tax breaks, as well as price breaks when dealing with cash. Not with the hall though, and I wouldn't even think of it. After all, when you are paying such a big chunk of money, you want a record of it, I would think. All my other vendores I have paid cash.

Re: Negotiating with Cash

yes, we did this and saved $$. Most of my vendors were willing to work with me on saving $$ for cash.

Just ask the question, Will I save $$ if I pay cash.

Re: Negotiating with Cash

We got tax breaks, if you want to save extra money just ask...

I asked and you will be amazed most of them will drop a little bit at least $100 or so..hey it adds up.
