l have a home based craft business and l will be selling through my website and at craft fairs. l need to know if there is a general small business licence that covers internet sales or if a local city licence covers it. Thanks!
What kind of small business licence do I need to run my business from home and sell from my website
I have a business like this in Wisconsin, all I needed was a mobile sellers permit to do the craft shows & to sell out of my home by mail. It cost $15 & renews for free automatically every year. Once a year (January) I send in any sales tax collected.
I sell in PA & have a show coming up in IL. Pennsylvania only required a mobile sellers permit also, which was $10 & renews for free every year. I file every 6 months for the sales tax collected. Most states r like this.
However IL on the other hand said theirs is free, but I have to file sales tax every month--if I only do one show, to send in the tax after that before the end of the next month, but to call & have them de-activate the license till I need it again for their state.
Check with ur department of revenue, they will let u know what u need.

contact you state equalization board. Additionally you may need a federal tax id
