Janice shared: “I am a nail tech. I need supplies.”
Hi Janice, a nail technician needs a state license for the work, and then you can set up the business itself. Supplies you use up, such as polish and files, are normally taxable, because the Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption applies only to goods you resell. If you sell polish or products to clients, register for the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). We can handle the business filings.
Short answer: For a nail technician business in Jacksonville, North Carolina, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The North Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. A wholesale merchant must register; wholesale-only businesses with no taxable sales or purchases can choose a wholesale-only option and skip filing returns. North Carolina lets registered wholesale-only merchants opt out of filing sales and use tax returns. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Succulent Skin And Spa · Saint George, UT
The owner asked: “I am an esthetician with an at-home business providing spa services. I want to sell products online to my clients.”
Services and product sales get treated differently. Your facials and treatments are one thing, but the products you sell online to clients are taxable goods, so Utah expects a Sales Tax License for Succulent Skin And Spa. With it, you can buy retail products from suppliers tax-free using the Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate. Working from home usually also calls for a home occupation permit from the city.
Short answer: All Licenses And Permits Needed In Utah 84770: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Sales Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
Utah calls its seller's permit the Sales Tax License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate. 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. Utah is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its TC-721 form covers resale purchases.
