Boothville, LA
Chafing dishes steaming, trays of fresh appetizers, and a van loaded with hot food headed to the venue.
Short answer: Need An Employer State Tax Id Number: the key filing in Louisiana is the sales tax certificate of registration. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042) before they sell to you tax-free.
The Louisiana version of the seller's permit is the sales tax certificate of registration. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Louisiana Resale Certificate (Form R-1042). 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. Louisiana issues resale certificates to registered dealers itself, while parish sales taxes are administered locally and may need separate registration. Caterers can buy ingredients that go into served meals without sales tax using a resale certificate, but serving equipment, linens and cleaning supplies are usually taxable.
Tip: Have a backup plan for the oven, the van and the weather; hungry guests are not forgiving.
