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

In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a PA Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) PA 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 Mcclure, Incorporate in PA or form a(n) PA 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.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Retail Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your butcher shop 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 Mcclure business name. In lieu of recording a Snyder 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 or form an PA 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). .

Do I Need A Retail License In Pa For Butchering butcher shop

Do I need a retail license in PA for butchering? (A butcher shop in McClure, PA)

White paper wrapped around fresh cuts, the whir of the band saw and a glass case gleaming with ribeyes and sausage.

Short answer: For a butcher shop in McClure, Pennsylvania, the essentials are the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.

Buying and selling wholesale in Pennsylvania

The Pennsylvania version of the seller's permit is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead. Suppliers of whole carcasses and primal cuts usually skip sales tax when you hand over a valid resale certificate, because the items are headed for your shelves, not your own use.

What a butcher shop needs in McClure, PA

LLC – protects personal assets if a customer or supplier dispute turns into a lawsuit
Fictitious Name (DBA) – registers the trade name on your sign, website and invoices
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – required for an LLC with partners or any business with employees
Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate – covers goods you resell, not supplies you use up
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance once you hire
McClure business license – renewed every year; inspectors may visit if you sell food or work with the public
Meat handling permit
Food handler and health permits

Same permit, different names in other states

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.
Michigan: the Sales Tax License. Michigan wholesalers buying tax-free should give suppliers a written statement that they are purchasing for resale at wholesale.
Washington: the business license with a reseller permit. Washington's B&O tax has a wholesaling classification, and sellers must keep a reseller permit or other documentation for every wholesale customer.

Tip: Your scale must be certified and accurate, because customers forgive a lot but not a short pound.

Industry code: NAICS 445210 (Meat Markets)
