Black Rose Trucking · Princeton, WI
The owner wrote: “I own a trucking company and have to pay IFTA tax for miles driven in the state of New York.”
A New York tax ID usually isn't needed for IFTA. It is a fuel tax program you file through your home base state, here Wisconsin, and it covers miles in all member states. Your Seller's Permit is for sales tax, a separate matter. For Black Rose Trucking we can help with the EIN, business name and entity, and your employee needs state employer registration.
Short answer: In Princeton, Wisconsin, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a trucking company, that means a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
In Wisconsin, the seller's permit goes by the name Seller's Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form S-211 Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax 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. Wisconsin is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its S-211 form covers resale purchases. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Hi Eric, ORA Transport LLC already has the right structure, so next come the trucking specifics. You will want an EIN, plus operating authority and fuel-tax registrations for the trucks. Hauling is a service, so a New York Certificate of Authority isn't normally needed unless you also sell taxable goods. Parts or supplies for resale would use Form ST-120, but fuel and repairs you use up would not.
Short answer: ORA Transport LLC: for a trucking company in Albany, New York, the core set is a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
In New York, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Authority. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Resale Certificate (Form ST-120). New York treats sellers of tangible goods as vendors who must register, and a buyer needs a Certificate of Authority to issue Form ST-120. A New York Certificate of Authority must be displayed at the business, and buyers list its number on the ST-120 resale certificate. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
