Can I offer discounts or promotions without violating pricing laws in Idaho? What are the requirements?

To offer discounts or promotions in Idaho, you must comply with the requirements set forth in IDST 48-1601. According to this statute, it is unlawful to sell, market, promote, advertise, or distribute any card or other purchasing mechanism or device that purports to offer discounts or access to discounts from health care providers in health-related purchases unless certain conditions are met [1.1].

The requirements are as follows:

  1. The card or other purchasing mechanism or device must expressly provide in bold and prominent type that the discounts are not insurance.
  2. The discounts must be specifically authorized by an individual and separate contract with each health care provider listed in conjunction with the card or other purchasing mechanism or device.
  3. The discounts or access to discounts offered or the range of discounts or access to the range of discounts offered must not be misleading, deceptive, or fraudulent, regardless of the literal wording used.

If you meet these requirements, you can offer discounts or promotions without violating pricing laws in Idaho. However, if you fail to meet these requirements, you may be in violation of IDST 48-1601 [1.1].

There are no other specific pricing laws in Idaho that regulate discounts or promotions. However, there are other tax laws that may apply to sales transactions. For example, sales occurring within the boundaries of an Indian reservation located in Idaho when the business or enterprise is wholly owned and operated by an Idaho Indian tribe identified in section 67-4001, Idaho Code, are exempt from the taxes imposed by IDST 63-3622Z [2.5]. Additionally, a marketplace facilitator must register with the state tax commission and collect, report, and pay state sales and use taxes on any retail sale facilitated by the marketplace facilitator [2.3].

In summary, to offer discounts or promotions in Idaho, you must comply with the requirements set forth in IDST 48-1601. Additionally, you should be aware of other tax laws that may apply to sales transactions.
