Art

As an artist, you are like a manufacturer.  You create art such as a painting and you sell  it for a profit.  That requires a sellers permit because a painting is a piece of merchandise and merchandise is taxable.

Art
is a very difficult business to start up.

For example, some 59% of photographers give up their business in the first year. Of that remaining 42%, another 24% will fail within the 2nd year.

Actually, only about 18% will endure through the 3rd year. That means that more than 84% of photographer start ups give up before the 3rd year of operation. So do your research like you would do with any other business. Research the market and who your clients will be.  Then consider the licensing you need for your Art  business.

First, select your business structure: Sole Proprietor, Partnership, LLC or Corporation.

The above step is important business all documents will be filed under the type of business organizational structure. Anyhow, if you do not expect much business, just select sole proprietor as a start up photographer business.

After that, you will need to obtain a business permit because Art is a business and all businesses need one..

This is a general business permit that all new businesses must obtain.

In addition, all Art  businesses must be identified by a business tax ID called a federal tax ID number or Employer Identification Number (EIN). If you file as a photography sole proprietor, you can use your social security number instead of the federal ID.

Then, a sellers permit is required if you sell Art merchandise, such as canvas, frames, paint, etc., wholesale or retail.

The sellers permit is also called state ID, wholesale ID, resale ID, or re-seller license.

If you are an employer, you will need a federal employer Number and a State Employer Number.  

For example if you hire someone to help you with photo finishing etc.

If you do business as a name other than your full legal name, for example, you do business as "Art  4 u," you will need to file a doing business as (DBA) filing.

Finally, you have the option or incorporating or forming an Art  LLC. Setting up as one of these corporate entities allows you not to file a DBA.

Sellers Permit or Resale License

If you want to buy any taxable merchandise such as jewelry or clothing at wholesale prices to make jewelry to re-sell, or to buy clothing and accessories to resell them, then you need state sellers permit or sales tax license also called a resale license.

States Require A Sellers Permit

This is because most states require jewelry vendors to collect tax on sales made within that state as opposed to out of state.  For example, you are in California and you sell a piece of jewelry, e.g., a gold ring, to a New Yorker.  Since your business is located in CA, you do not need to charge taxes.  

Selling in-state requires that you charge sales tax

On the other hand, if you sell in California you need to charge sales tax on every retail sale that’s shipped to any address within California.
So if you are selling your jewelry,  get your sellers permit also called a resale license.
There is no other way to buy wholesale and re-sell retail.  The implication is that even if you sell just wholesale, you still need to get the resale license.
This is because in the end... the end user has to pay sales tax.  Hence the requirement to get a sellers permit as a wholesaler so the state can monitor sales between wholesalers and retailers ( taxable item sales that is ).  



Anytime you run into a state inspection, the state it will you to show proof that tax-exempt sales are indeed sold to vendors with a valid Seller’s Permit. Unless you had a valid resale license at the time of the sale, you will have to pay the taxes or penalties of the sales without a resale license. Things are that harsh.


For instance, you are located in Texas, and you try to buy wholesale from Pennsylvania, despite that you will not sell in PA, you will need  a resale certificate to produce to the wholesaler to make sure your can re-sell the items purchased wholesale.

  • Contractor's license for landscaping work
  • Arborist certification for tree care and removal
  • Pesticide applicator license if using chemical treatments

    Basic Business Structure and Tax Requirements


    For an Amazon reselling business, you'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number), which functions as your business's tax ID - think of it as a Social Security number for your business. This number is essential for tax reporting, opening business bank accounts, and managing vendor relationships. While sole proprietorship is the simplest structure, an LLC offers personal asset protection and professional credibility, separating your personal finances from business operations. S-corporation status can provide tax advantages through income splitting between salary and distributions.

    Sales and Reseller Permits


    A Seller's Permit (also called a Resale Certificate or Resale License) is crucial for purchasing inventory wholesale without paying sales tax, as you'll collect it from the end customer instead. Operating without this permit while collecting sales tax is prohibited and can result in significant penalties. Amazon requires sellers to provide valid tax identification to operate on their platform.

    Required Licenses and Business Name Registration


  • Basic Business License - needed to legally operate your reselling business

  • DBA (Doing Business As) registration - required if operating under a name different from your legal name or LLC name

  • Sales Tax License - mandatory for collecting and remitting sales tax from customers

  • Retail Merchant's License - specifically for retail sales operations

  • Home Occupation Permit - if running the business from home

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Should I consider forming an LLC?

    A: Perhaps filing an llc may be a good idea though some start with an S corp. On the other hand, if you want to issue shares, you may want a C corporation. If your business name is. deas XYZtch Schabel Fine ArtCo. requires a fictitious business name registration, which also requires a fee to be registered.

    Registering a fictitious business name does not protect that name nor does it protect the business owner from personal liability related to business actions as setting up a limited liability company (LLC) does. It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

    Note that once you incorporate no one can register the limited liability company (LLC) name at the state level.

    You'll need an EIN (Employer Identification Number) which functions as your business's tax ID - think of it as a Social Security number for your company. This is essential for opening business bank accounts, filing taxes, and managing payroll if you hire employees. For your online bath and beauty products business, establishing an LLC provides personal asset protection and tax flexibility, while an S-corp could offer potential tax advantages through salary/distribution optimization, though it requires more complex management.

    Industry-Specific Licenses and Permits


    For selling cosmetic and personal care products like bath bombs and skin treatments, you'll need:
  • Seller's Permit/Resale Certificate - allows you to buy wholesale products tax-free for resale and collect sales tax from customers

  • Cosmetic Manufacturing License - required for producing bath and beauty products

  • Home-Based Business Permit - if operating from home

  • DBA (Doing Business As) Registration - if operating under a name different from your legal business name


  • Online Business Requirements


    As an e-commerce business, you'll need additional elements for operating legally online:
  • Sales Tax License/Permit - for collecting and remitting sales tax on online transactions

  • Payment Processing Registration - to accept credit card payments

  • Food and Drug Safety Registration - since your products are applied to the body

  • Product Liability Insurance - protects against claims related to your beauty products

    Do I Need a small tshirt shop  Sellers Permit? 

    What other permits and Tax IDs Does a   small tshirt shop

    Business Needs to Legally Start business operations? 

    A  
    small tshirt shop   business needs a sellers permit if it sells or tshirts. 

    Furthermore, a general business permit and a federal tax ID number is also required for any of the above business type organizations. 

    The only exception to a federal tax ID number is a sole proprietor, who can use a ss# instead of a Federal ID. 

    However, even sole proprietors as well as all other business type organizations that are employers, independent contractors, LLCs, or corporation must obtain a federal tax ID number. 

    A
     tshirt business organization, including sole owners, must obtain a state employer tax ID if hiring employees. 

    Finally, a 
     tshirt store  sole owner (i.e., an one person business) can obtain and use a federal ID as a business tax ID instead of the social security number and, in addition, he or she can form an LLC or set up a corporation instead of organizing as a sole proprietor. 

    Tshirt stores Accessories such as handbags, purses, apparel, dresses, womens belts, etc.   businesses do not need any surety bond insurance either but they can optionally purchase it and also purchase a general liability business insurance or home business insurance.
