Queensbury, NY
A mower humming across a lawn, fresh mulch steaming in the sun and clean stripes behind a crew.
Short answer: Have A DBA Now What: a landscaping business in Queensbury typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
New York calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Authority. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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. Plants and materials sold to clients may be bought with a resale certificate, while mowers, tools and fuel used in the work are generally taxed.
Tip: Photograph jobs before and after; a lawn looks much better in a picture than from memory.
