Auto Resale

You can choose to be a(n) Auto Resale :

Sole Proprietor,
LLC,
Corporation or
Partnership.
After you decide and select your business entity, you need licensing.

✔ Biz License

Garibaldi Business Tax Registration ( Auto ResaleBusiness License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.

✔ DBA Biz Name

A(n) Auto Resale business using a DBA Doing Business As Trade Name in Tillamook County , i.e., starting businesses using a company name other than the legal (given name) owner's name, need a(n) DBA Doing Business As Trade Name Registration. For example, you start a(n) Auto Resale business and you call it "Ultra Auto Resale Co". You will need to file a trade firm name for it.

✔ Seller Permit

Also, keep in mind that in OR Auto Resale though, a business license and a DBA is necessary for most businesses but if your business sells any taxable items, you will need a sales tax ID number. (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states). You will need it if you sell or want to buy wholesale any Auto Resale related items, such as food, materials, or merchandise.
Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

If you are thinking of hiring help, you will need a state employer ID and an IRS number employer ID. I.e., a OR Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) OR State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Garibaldi, Incorporate in OR or form a(n) OR LLC .

If you will set up a corporation or form an LLC, you will not have to file a DBA (Doing Business As) unless your corproration or LLC name will be different that the busienss name you will trade under. Businesses that use the full legal name of the owner as a business name do not need to register an assumed business name. So, for example, your name is "John X Doe" and you use that as a business name.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Wholesale Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Auto Resale business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), it will help you avoid legal and financial personal liability arising out of business transactions and you will not have to register the Garibaldi business name. Instead of filing a Tillamook County fictitious business name (our service fee includes dba business name filing and legal paper publication) you can elect to incorporate in OR or form an OR LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws and LLC operating agreement)..

Which registrations does a used car resale business in Garibaldi, OR need?

A row of freshly washed sedans, windshield prices in marker and a salesperson jangling keys by an open driver's door.

Short answer: For a used car resale business in Garibaldi, Oregon, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

Buying and selling wholesale in Oregon

No statewide sales tax, so the state issues no seller's permit and wholesale-only businesses need no sales tax registration. No statewide sales tax, so no seller's permit; out-of-state suppliers may still ask for documentation such as a multistate exemption certificate. Cars bought at auctions or trade-ins for resale are acquired without sales tax at the point of purchase, and the final buyer pays tax at the sale.

The paper trail for Garibaldi, OR

LLC – protects personal assets if a customer or supplier dispute turns into a lawsuit
Assumed Business Name (DBA) – registers the trade name on your sign, website and invoices
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – keeps your Social Security number off W-9 forms and supplier paperwork
Sales tax – Oregon has no statewide sales tax, so there is no state seller's permit
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance once you hire
Garibaldi business license – needed even for home-based businesses, which may also need a home occupation permit
Motor vehicle dealer license
Dealer surety bond

How other states name the wholesale permit

Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
Delaware: No statewide sales tax; instead Delaware imposes a gross receipts tax on sellers, with wholesalers classified separately from retailers.
New Mexico: the Gross Receipts Tax registration (CRS ID). New Mexico uses NTTCs instead of resale certificates, sorted by type, and buyers obtain them online after registering.

Tip: Pull a vehicle history report on every car; the shiny one with the cheap price is usually carrying a story.

Industry code: NAICS 441120 (Used Car Dealers)
