    For small businesses, Mailing List Rent is a great idea to help in their marketing strategies. Renting mailing lists from a mailing list broker allows you to rent mailing lists from companies like The Yellow Pages, Kinkos, and others that are well-known in the business. These mailing lists, which come at a fee, can be very useful. First of all, they can be very effective. Renting mailing lists has many advantages. One advantage is that you can have your own mailing list with just a little investment from you.

    There are many ways of using Mailing List Rental to increase your sales and profit margins. Let’s look at how this works. With Mailing List Rental, you get mailing lists which can be very useful for your business. You then use the mailing list to market your products and services effectively to people on your mailing list.

    In fact, one advantage of Mailing List Rental is that you do not have to pay for the mailing list itself. When you hire a mailing list broker, you only pay for the list that you rent. This makes Mailing List Rental an excellent way to leverage your disposable income. As long as you do not use the list to market your products and services directly to people on your mailing list, you do not have to pay for the mailing list yourself.

    Here’s how Mailing List Rental works. You sign up with a broker and give them permission to place your subscription list on a targeted distribution list. The distribution list is the part of the mailings that is opened by people who have requested information about the requested information. The broker receives your credit card and banking information and creates a special sales form with your name on it. This special sales form contains your mailing list URL, which the broker can email to customers who have requested more information.

    Let us review the IRS rules regarding the rental of its mailing list. If you own a UBT or BTR, you are required to give IRS notice that you are renting to a related or competing company. This means that if you do not disclose that fact, you may be liable for tax penalties and the like. Also, you have to give IRS notice that you are spending monies that you owe the IRS. If you fail to do so, you may be charged with income-tax fraud and punished heavily. You can learn more about your IRS obligations concerning the rental of its mailing list by contacting a professional tax expert.

    There are some ways to structure your UBT or BTR mailing list to avoid any tax liability. Your mailing list can be restricted to subscribers who request such information through the postal service. You can also include certain categories of customers when renting the mailing list. For instance, in a grocery store, you can group all customers who order dairy products – whether from a UBT or from a grocery store’s internal database – under the category of “menageurables.” This would exclude poultry products, fish, meat, dairy products, fruits, vegetables, and bakery products, which are items generally sold for retail prices and that are not part of a person’s weekly grocery needs.

    In short, the rental of its mailing lists should be structured so that the business is able to avoid tax liabilities in the future. The IRS will consider the volume of customers you receive and who request the mailing lists – both on a related basis (i.e., the rental of mailing lists to a single customer) and on an unrelated basis (i.e., a customer purchases a product from a particular seller and later orders the same product from a different seller for his own use). If the IRS finds that you are structuring your business to avoid tax liabilities, you may be hit with a large penalty. The penalty will depend on the nature of the structuring – if you merely rent mailing lists for the purposes of marketing and advertising and never make any profit from them, you would likely be hit with a very large tax bill.

    On the other hand, if you were to rent mailing lists for the purposes of marketing and advertising to a particular class of customers and if you do so consistently and repeatedly, you could find that you will come under the category of “related business taxable income” in the eyes of the IRS. In this case, your business will be open to tax liabilities. However, if you were to rent mailing lists on an unrelated basis, such as a UBT to one customer and a UBH to another customer, the IRS would not have a problem with that arrangement. The fact that the UBH customer bought something from you later advertised that same item to his UBH friends would not be a problem. His friends would still have the right to use the mailing list as they have the right to advertise to anyone who inquires. However, if you were to rent mailing lists you would open yourself up to a potential liability from the related tax related to the rental of mailing lists.
