If you determined that you need to charge sales tax on some or all of the goods and services your business sells, your next step is to register for a sellers permit. This allows your business to collect sales tax on behalf of your local and state governments.

​

In order to register, you will need the following information:

• Your social security number (corporate officers excluded)

• Your date of birth

• Your driver license number, state ID number, or other ID (e.g., passport, military ID)

• Names and location of banks where you have an account

• Names and addresses of suppliers

• Name and address of bookkeeper or accountant

• Name and address of personal references

• Expected average monthly sales and the amount of those sales which are taxable

• Your email address

• If you have purchased an existing business, you must also provide the previous permit information
