Hayden, AL
Wheelchairs lined up for delivery, a walker being adjusted, and a patient relieved at a smoother ride.
Short answer: For a durable medical equipment supplier in Hayden, Alabama, the essentials are the sales tax license, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In Alabama, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax license. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is an Alabama resale certificate. Wholesalers making no retail sales may get a state sales tax certificate of exemption (Form STE-1) instead of a sales tax license. Many Alabama cities and counties levy their own sales taxes, some administered locally, so local registration can be needed too. Equipment bought from manufacturers for sale or rental to patients is often purchased with a resale certificate, though medical-specific exemptions vary by state.
Tip: Keep delivery and fitting records for each customer. A paper trail is easier on everyone than a long phone call.
