Kinmundy, IL
The owner asked: “I sell dog food and dog supplies and raise and sell puppies.”
Dog food and supplies are taxable retail, so you need the Illinois Certificate of Registration (sales tax), which comes with an Illinois resale number. Suppliers want that plus Form CRT-61 Certificate of Resale to sell you stock tax-free. Puppies are the bigger question, because breeders can face state licensing and health rules and a local kennel permit, so check those first.
Short answer: Selling Dog Supplies: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Certificate of Registration (sales tax), with an Illinois resale number, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
Illinois calls its seller's permit the Certificate of Registration (sales tax), with an Illinois resale number. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form CRT-61 Certificate of Resale. Illinois registers a business as a reseller when all its sales of tangible goods are nontaxable, such as sales only for resale. Illinois' sales tax is legally the Retailers' Occupation Tax, a tax on the seller; resellers get a resale number to buy tax-free.

Bags of kibble stacked by the door, squeaky toys piled in a bin and a wagging tail at the leash aisle.
Short answer: Obtain Tax ID Boise Sole Owner Store: the key filing in Idaho is the seller's permit. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form ST-101 Sales Tax Resale or Exemption Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
The Idaho version of the seller's permit is the seller's permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-101 Sales Tax Resale or 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. Idaho's single ST-101 form handles both resale and other exemption claims. Buying pet supplies from suppliers without paying sales tax works through a resale certificate, because the items will be resold; fixtures and supplies you keep for yourself are still taxed.
Tip: Keep treats at the register; owners buy them on impulse, and a whining dog is excellent marketing.
