Manuel · Manuel Chemicals · Lafayette, LA
Hi Manuel, chemicals bring industry rules on top of ordinary registration. Louisiana's sales tax certificate of registration is the base, and the Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042) works for chemicals you buy to resell. Handling, storing and shipping hazardous materials may require extra permits, so confirm what applies to your product line before opening. An LLC for Manuel Chemicals would help limit risk.
Short answer: In Lafayette, Louisiana, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a chemicals business, that means the sales tax certificate of registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
In Louisiana, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax certificate of registration. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042). 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. Louisiana issues resale certificates to registered dealers itself, while parish sales taxes are administered locally and may need separate registration.
