Seller's Permit
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.
Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number.
I.e., a MS Federal Tax Id Number ($29)
and a(n) MS State Employer Tax Number
Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in
Gulfport, Incorporate in MS or
form a(n) MS LLC .
Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation.
If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.
If you do form an Transportation, Communications llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Carrier business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba),
that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Gulfport business name.
In lieu of recording a Harrison County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in
MS or form an MS LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .

| T And T Transportation · Gulfport, MS Register DBA In Mississippi: how do I get a freight carrier in Gulfport, MS licensed? A rig idling at the dock before sunrise, logbooks stacked on the dash and a manifest signed by a yawning receiver. Short answer: Register DBA In Mississippi: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license. Buying and selling wholesale in MississippiIn Mississippi, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a the buyer's Mississippi sales tax permit (no separate state resale certificate form). Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Mississippi relies on the buyer's sales tax permit number rather than a separate resale certificate form; confirm current practice. Materials consumed while delivering trucking are generally taxed when bought since they are not resold, though items billed separately to clients may qualify as resale. Your Gulfport filing checklist- LLC – keeps your house and savings separate from the business's debts and contracts
- Assumed Name (DBA) – needed when you trade under a name other than your legal name or the LLC's exact name
- Federal tax ID number (EIN) – wholesale suppliers and banks ask for it on credit and account applications
- Sales Tax Permit – only if you also sell taxable goods; many services aren't taxed, but some states tax certain services
- State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance
- Gulfport business license – the city or county tracks who does business there and checks safety rules
- Operating authority and motor carrier registration
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.
- Hawaii: the General Excise Tax (GET) license. Hawaii taxes wholesale sales as well as retail ones, at a lower rate, because its GET falls on the seller's gross income.
- Texas: the Sales and Use Tax Permit. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate.
Tip: Track every mile and every receipt; a trucker's profit is made at the pump and kept in the paperwork. Industry code: NAICS 484110 (General Freight Trucking, Local) Get your Sales Tax Permit filed · Start your LLC, DBA and EIN · Business licenses |
