Eric · ORA Transport LLC · Albany, NY
Hi Eric, ORA Transport LLC already has the right structure, so next come the trucking specifics. You will want an EIN, plus operating authority and fuel-tax registrations for the trucks. Hauling is a service, so a New York Certificate of Authority isn't normally needed unless you also sell taxable goods. Parts or supplies for resale would use Form ST-120, but fuel and repairs you use up would not.
Short answer: ORA Transport LLC: for a trucking company in Albany, New York, the core set is a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
In New York, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Authority. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
