Afiya · Macho Men Maid Service · Rapid City, SD
Afiya told us: “I am a cleaning service for commercial and residential.”
Hi Afiya, South Dakota taxes services more broadly than most states, so cleaning may fall under the Sales Tax License there. Our filing can check. South Dakota has no state income tax on wages, so with five employees, the state employer registration is for unemployment insurance only. An LLC and an EIN come first, and Macho Men Maid Service needs a DBA unless it matches the LLC name exactly.
Short answer: Obtain LLC And EIN: for a commercial and residential cleaning service in Rapid City, South Dakota, the core set is a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
In South Dakota, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. 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. South Dakota taxes many services as well as goods, so service-heavy wholesalers should check what they sell. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Short answer: In Grant, Oklahoma, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a cleaning service, that means a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The Oklahoma version of the seller's permit is the Sales Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a the buyer's Oklahoma sales tax permit plus a signed resale statement. 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. Oklahoma sellers generally keep a copy of the buyer's sales tax permit to support a sale for resale. Supplies and materials used up while doing the work are normally taxable when bought, because they are consumed in the service and not resold.
Tip: Photograph jobs before and after. Nothing ends a dispute about that one smudge faster than a timestamp.
