Sheneice told us: “24 HR DAYCARE”
Hi Sheneice, a daycare is regulated mainly by licensing rules, not sales tax, so the Texas Sales and Use Tax Permit matters only if you sell goods. Expect to complete the state child care licensing before you take children, with background checks for staff. You have one employee, and Texas has no state income tax on wages, so registration is for unemployment insurance. An LLC adds liability protection.
Short answer: Spring TX: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
The Texas version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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.

Teonia · Ravenswood, WV
Teonia asked: “Small child care program, 12 children maximum, located in the Ravenswood business district.”
Hi Teonia, child care is licensed and inspected before you can open, and that approval is the main hurdle for a program of your size. Meanwhile an LLC protects your personal assets, and an EIN lets you open a business account and hire staff. Care fees are generally a service, so the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax) is mostly irrelevant.
Short answer: Business West Virginia: a small child care program in Ravenswood typically needs a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
The West Virginia version of the seller's permit is the Business Registration Certificate (sales tax). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form F0003 Exemption Certificate. 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. West Virginia is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so the uniform Streamlined certificate is also accepted. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.
