Which registrations does a feed additive and ingredients supplier in Houston, TX need?

Short answer: For a feed additive and ingredients supplier in Houston, Texas, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax Permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

Buying and selling wholesale in Texas

Texas calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339). Texas expects sellers of taxable items, including wholesalers, to hold a permit, and resale certificates require the buyer's Texas taxpayer number. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate. Ingredients and additives bought in bulk for resale to feed mills and farms can be purchased with a resale certificate, and your customers provide theirs.

The paper trail for Houston, TX

LLC – limits personal liability, and an LLC under its exact name needs no extra DBA
Assumed Name Certificate (DBA) – needed when you trade under a name other than your legal name or the LLC's exact name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – keeps your Social Security number off W-9 forms and supplier paperwork
Sales and Use Tax Permit – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339) – covers goods you resell, not supplies you use up
Houston business license – renewed every year; inspectors may visit if you sell food or work with the public
Commercial feed license
Feed ingredient 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.
Florida: the sales tax Certificate of Registration. Florida mails registered dealers a new Annual Resale Certificate each year; sellers can also verify a buyer's certificate number with the state.
Tennessee: the sales and use tax certificate of registration. Tennessee's business tax classifies a business as wholesaler or retailer each year, depending on whether wholesale sales exceed half its total sales.

Tip: Keep lot numbers on every shipment; if a feed batch is ever questioned, the paper trail is your defense.

Industry code: NAICS 424910 (Farm Supplies Merchant Wholesalers)
