Before you collect sales tax, you should register for a sales tax permit with your state.
How to Register for a Sales Tax Permit
In general, these are the steps to register with a state to collect sales tax:
- Gather vital info like your EIN and other business identifying information
- Visit your State’s Department of Revenue website
- Search or click on the “Sales and Use Tax” section of the website
- Click the link to register your business
Every state and every website is slightly different, so we’ve listed every state below with a step-by-step guide.
Find the state in the list below in which you need to register for a sales tax permit and click on it for more info.
We’ll provide directions on registering for a sales tax permit in each state on your own. And if you’re tired of handling sales tax collection, reporting and filing on your own, give TaxJar a try.
