Absolusun Chic · Milford, CT
The owner asked: “I want to start a mobile tanning service.”
Mobile tanning is a personal service, and states often regulate tanning with licensing, sanitation and sometimes equipment rules, so ask first what Connecticut expects. The Sales and Use Tax Permit matters if you sell lotions or products, and Form CERT-100 is for products bought for resale. Absolusun Chic is a trade name, so a DBA is needed unless your LLC carries that exact name.
Short answer: Obtain Tax ID LLC: in Connecticut, what most people call a wholesale license is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. With it, and a Form CERT-100 (exemption for purchases of items to be sold or leased) for your suppliers, a mobile tanning service can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
The Connecticut version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form CERT-100 (exemption for purchases of items to be sold or leased). 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. Connecticut uses topic-specific exemption certificates; the resale certificate is separate from its general exemption forms. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
