J&R Lawncare · Fayetteville, NC
The owner asked: “Lawn maintenance.”
Lawn maintenance is a service, so the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax) in North Carolina matters only if you sell products such as plants or mulch separately. With 2 employees, register with the state as an employer. Fuel and equipment you use up are bought as the end user. J&R Lawncare needs a DBA unless an LLC carries that exact name.
Short answer: Fayetteville NC Licensing And Tax Ids: in North Carolina, what most people call a wholesale license is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). With it, and a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption for your suppliers, a lawn care business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In North Carolina, the seller's permit goes by the name 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.

Langhorn Lawn Service · Benton, AR
Fresh-cut grass perfume, parallel stripes across a lawn, and a trailer full of humming equipment.
Short answer: In Benton, Arkansas, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a lawn care service, that means a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
In Arkansas, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption (resale). 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. Arkansas is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so buyers can use the uniform Streamlined exemption certificate for resale. Most of what this business sells is labor, so wholesale pricing matters mainly for fuel, mower blades and trimmer line, which are typically taxed at purchase because they are not resold.
Tip: Write seasonal contracts; summer grass grows quickly and so do payment disagreements.
