John · Portland, OR
Hi John, Oregon has no statewide sales tax, so the coffee shop won't need a state seller's permit, but food service rules apply instead, including approval of your kitchen and equipment and health inspections. With eight employees, you also need an EIN and state employer registration. Portland adds its own business license, so start there.
Short answer: For a coffee shop in Portland, Oregon, the essentials are a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
No statewide sales tax, so the state issues no seller's permit and wholesale-only businesses need no sales tax registration. No statewide sales tax, so no seller's permit; out-of-state suppliers may still ask for documentation such as a multistate exemption certificate.
