Jeffrey · Pharmacy To Go · Little Rock, AR
Jeffrey told us: “I will deliver to homes for pharmacies.”
Hi Jeffrey, delivering for pharmacies is a service, so you typically won't collect sales tax on the delivery itself. The pharmacies handle their own licensing; you need your own business registration, an EIN, and the right vehicle and insurance setup. Because you'll handle medications, expect pharmacies to ask about privacy and background rules. Pharmacy To Go would need registering as a trade name or LLC in Arkansas.
Short answer: License And Fees: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
Arkansas calls its seller's permit the sales and use tax permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

A van loaded with neatly labeled parcels, a map app chirping directions and a doorbell answered with a grateful wave.
Short answer: In Attleboro, Massachusetts, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a local delivery service, that means a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
Massachusetts calls its seller's permit the sales and use tax registration (Certificate of Registration). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-4 Sales Tax Resale 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. Massachusetts' ST-4 resale certificate requires the buyer's registration number. A delivery company sells transport, not goods, so vehicles, fuel and equipment bought for the work are normally taxable at purchase, and a resale certificate would not usually apply to them.
Tip: Insure the vehicle for business use before the first delivery, because personal policies often decline to attend the party.
