John · Johne's Rentals And Sales · Riverton, WY
John asked: “Motorcycles and mobile homes, rentals and sales. I will buy and sell motorcycles and mobile homes.”
Hi John, Buying and selling motorcycles and mobile homes usually brings dealer licensing on top of the standard set, since both are titled property. In Wyoming you would hold the Sales/Use Tax License, and the Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption lets you buy inventory tax-free for resale. With 3 employees, Wyoming's employer registration is for unemployment insurance only, as there is no state income tax withholding.
Short answer: Apply For Business License WY: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Sales/Use Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
In Wyoming, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales/Use Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. 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. Wyoming is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so buyers use the uniform Streamlined certificate for resale.

Clothing Store · Pittsburgh, PA
The owner asked: “Clothing store. I will sell online until I get enough to get a storefront.”
Starting online and moving into a storefront later is a smart way to grow. Register for the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License now, since online sales to Pennsylvania buyers are taxable. Clothing suppliers will want the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate plus your permit number. When you get the storefront, you will also need the city's business license.
Short answer: In Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an online clothing store, that means the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
Pennsylvania calls its seller's permit the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for 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.
