The owner wrote: “Sell online.”
Selling online from Pennsylvania generally needs the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License for taxable goods. Wholesale suppliers accept the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate when you buy items to resell. Sales into other states can bring sales tax duties once you pass thresholds. Tell us what you sell and we can tighten up the rest of the setup.
Short answer: Selling Online Living In PA: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
Pennsylvania calls its seller's permit 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.

Jarold · Sheridan, MT
Jarold told us: “Meat processing: slaughter animals and cut and wrap domestic and wild meat.”
Hi Jarold, Montana has no statewide sales tax, so there is no state tax ID or seller's permit in the sense you may be used to. The bigger hurdle in meat processing is the state and federal inspection and licensing rules for slaughter and custom cut and wrap, which are strict. We can set up your EIN and entity, but check licensing first.
Short answer: For a meat processing business in Sheridan, Montana, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
