Mc Dowells Landscaping · Stahlstown, PA
The owner wrote: “Landscaping, selling shrubs and flowers from home.”
Landscaping is mostly labor, but selling shrubs and flowers makes you a retailer of taxable goods, so Pennsylvania's Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License is needed. Plants you buy to resell, or install in a customer's yard, can be bought tax-free using the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate; mowers and fuel cannot. Selling from home means checking the township's zoning rules. Mc Dowells Landscaping is a trade name, so file the DBA unless the LLC name matches.
Short answer: LLC Landscape Stahlstown: a landscaping business in Stahlstown typically needs the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
The Pennsylvania version of the seller's permit is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead.
