Cottonwood Station · Alamo, NV
The owner told us: “I am a cafe that sells merchandise. I am interested in opening a cafe, cigar bar and souvenir shop. What do I need to do? Is there a food handlers class?”
A cafe with souvenirs and tobacco gets licensed on several fronts: the health authorities for food service and handler cards, a tobacco retailer license for cigars, and the seller's permit in Nevada for merchandise and taxable sales. Your Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit) covers souvenirs and tobacco you resell. With your eight employees, Nevada has no wage income tax, so the state employer registration is for unemployment insurance.
Short answer: Selling Merchandise 89004: for a cafe and souvenir shop in Alamo, Nevada, the core set is the seller's permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
Nevada calls its seller's permit the seller's permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit). Nevada requires businesses selling tangible goods in the state to register, and a seller's permit is a prerequisite for issuing resale certificates. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.
