What is a South Carolina (SC) state tax ID number?

SC has 4 tax ID numbers.

1. A State Sales Tax ID Number that is required for retailers to collect taxes, and also required to buy wholesale. In addition, wholesalers must have a state sales tax ID number also called a wholesale ID number in order to be allowed to sell wholesale to resellers of taxable goods.

2. A State Employer Tax ID Number ( SEIN ). This is similar to the Federal EIN but this state one is only for state employers. If you are an employer, you will need BOTH a federal EIN and a State EIN.

3. A General State Registration Number when you register your business with the state government.

4. A General local business tax (that is a general tax on gross income, type of business and number of employees as well as the location of the business) number also called a business license that some cities and counties require your business to obtain.

Every new business is required to have its own State South Carolina state tax ID number depending on the particular facts of your business. There are several different ones. A South Carolina South Carolina State tax ID Number can be one of Two State Tax ID Numbers.

THERE ARE TWO MAIN STATE TAX IDS:

A seller's permit also called a sales tax ID or a state employer number ID for employee tax withholding as discussed above. For example, if you start a business selling online or from anywhere and to anyone, you are required to obtain a sales tax ID also called a state sales tax id or reseller license to collect sales tax because you will need to ID to keep track of your sales and report them to the state government.

On the other hand, if you also have employees, you will also need a state employer tax ID number AKA SEIN and a federal tax Id number EIN. Then there is a Federal Tax ID Number, a Business Tax Registration Number, and a Social Security Number for your personal income tax. A wholesale License is a sales tax ID number. You need it to buy or sell wholesale. It is also called a Seller's Permit, Resale ID, Reseller License or State ID.

Example:

Edward starts a business from home selling stuff on the internet. He wants to buy stuff wholesale and then post them online and sell them retail. To buy wholesale, Edward will need to obtain a seller's permit. The seller's permit includes a resale certificate that will sign and fax to the wholesaler so Edward can prove to the wholesaler that he has a seller's permit ID number that enables him to buy wholesale. For instance, if Edward buys 500 widgets for $1 each, he would have to pay $500 plus sales tax but since he buys wholesale he does not have to pay the sales tax. When Edward sells the widgets online he will have to charge about 8% tax in most states and collect it to pay the government.
