Austin shared: “I offer landscaping services from mowing to reseeding and tree trimming and bushes. Clean out flower beds and plant flowers and other shrubs. Will be doing sprinkler install and irrigation. Landscape design and build.”
Hi Austin, a federal tax ID is the first piece, and an LLC is a sensible way to keep the business separate from you personally. In Texas, landscaping, planting and sprinkler work can involve sales tax on the materials you supply, so a Sales and Use Tax Permit is likely. Sprinkler installation is licensed by the state, and spraying chemicals usually needs a license too. With two employees, Texas employer registration covers unemployment insurance only.
Short answer: Needing A Tax Identification Number: Texas doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales and Use Tax Permit, backed by a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339).
Texas calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Texas Sales and Use Tax Resale Certificate (Form 01-339). Texas expects sellers of taxable items, including wholesalers, to hold a permit, and resale certificates require the buyer's Texas taxpayer number. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
