Hi Laura, Team KAL LLC sounds like a promising venture. Opening a box of auction finds and listing them is a mini treasure hunt, and the ding of a sale notification brightens any day. The Arizona transaction privilege tax (TPT) license comes first here, because it is what lets you collect sales tax and buy inventory wholesale. Here is what we will cover: how to structure Team KAL LLC, the tax IDs it needs, and the licenses that let you open in Glendale, then a quick recap.
Arizona calls its sales tax license a transaction privilege tax license, and reselling auction finds to buyers is the sort of activity that needs one. Etsy and eBay collect tax on many orders they facilitate, but the license still matters for direct sales and for proving the rest. When you buy lots at liquidation auctions, check whether tax was charged at purchase, and keep receipts that show what you paid, since lots are often mixed. Selling nationwide means other states' thresholds can apply to your direct sales. Team KAL LLC should be set up with the right account in its name, not yours.
By the numbers: Banks, insurers, and tax forms will ask for your industry code. For a small business it is NAICS 453998 (All Other Miscellaneous Store Retailers), 459999 under the 2022 update. With 1 employee planned, you are already creating jobs in Glendale. That makes 5 items on your list.
Tip: Track costs per lot, including shipping materials, so you know your real profit.
To recap: Team KAL LLC in Glendale, AZ needs a sales tax permit, an LLC, an EIN, a state employer ID, and a business license. Get those in place and you can spend your time on customers instead of paperwork.
We can file your seller's permit and the other registrations for you: start here.
Here's How to Get Your DE Seller's Permit and Other permits and Registrations You May Need.
DE Seller's Permit, LLC, DBA, Licenses & Tax IDs Requirements:
Start with a Connecticut sales and use tax permit. A thrift and consignment shop sells taxable goods to the public, so you must collect sales tax, and consigned items count as your sales too.
• Trade name: a DBA if you operate under a shop name as a sole proprietor, though an LLC would separate the shop's debts from your own. • EIN: useful for banking and required once you hire anyone. • Local business license and zoning approval for the Bridgeport storefront, plus any certificate of occupancy for the space. • Written consignment agreements with each seller, spelling out the split and the holding period. • Employer accounts for unemployment and withholding if you add staff.
Secondhand dealer rules sometimes apply to jewelry or electronics, so ask us before stocking those.
In Mississippi you would register for a sales tax permit. That registration is what lets you hand wholesalers a resale certificate, so you buy inventory without paying sales tax on it, and it also obliges you to collect tax on sales to Mississippi customers.
As a sole proprietor you can run under your own name, or file a DBA if you want a brand name on your website and invoices. Many wholesalers also ask for an EIN, which keeps your Social Security number off paperwork. Check whether your town wants a local privilege or business license even for a home-based online shop. If you will sell into other states in volume, you may owe sales tax registration there too. An LLC is optional but worth considering once sales grow, and we can file every piece of this for you.
Your cosmetology license covers the services you perform, but selling products is a separate matter. In Ohio you need a vendor's license, since you will be collecting sales tax on every bottle and tool sold to a client.
That same vendor's license lets you buy product from distributors using a resale certificate, so you stop paying tax at the wholesale counter. If you work from a salon booth, ask the owner whether sales run through their register or yours, because that decides whose license is used. Add an EIN, and an LLC or DBA if you want a brand name on your invoices. Your contractor license does not figure into retail, so unless you sell in a store you lease, a local business license is the only other piece. We can file the vendor's license and EIN for you.
