Fees for registering R Designs depend on the state, the city and the business, and we can file the paperwork for you. For custom automotive work in Illinois, you would register for the Certificate of Registration (sales tax) if you sell parts, and you will need to check whether your city allows the shop at your home. Parts bought to install and resell can be purchased with a resale number.
Short answer: Tax Id Cost: in Illinois, what most people call a wholesale license is the Certificate of Registration (sales tax), with an Illinois resale number. With it, and a Form CRT-61 Certificate of Resale for your suppliers, a custom automotive shop can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In Illinois, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Registration (sales tax), with an Illinois resale number. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier 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. Supplies you use up in a service are usually taxed when you buy them, since they aren't resold.

Clint asked: “I am a mechanic that buys parts and puts them on customers' vehicles.”
Hi Clint, parts you install are the key tax question. In Pennsylvania, the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License matters, and you can give suppliers the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate for parts you resell to customers, but not for tools. An LLC for Clint's Automotive helps separate personal assets. You will also need an EIN.
Short answer: LLC Uniontown PA 15401: for an auto repair shop in Uniontown, Pennsylvania, the core set is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a business structure and name registration.
The Pennsylvania version of the seller's permit is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead.
