Answer: Hi Sandra, you can get food licenses here online, on our site. Yes, you do need a seller's permit and a business license to sell food. The food safety license is also called a food handler's permit, which you can obtain with a short online test. Food businesses require several licenses to operate. Here's How To Sell Food, and What Licenses Are Needed For A Food Business.
The food industry is a complex, global network of diverse businesses that supplies most of the food consumed by the world's population.

For your business registration, we recommend that you obtain an LLC and an EIN to start because you can do this with your home address if you don't already have an office. Then simply change your address.

First, after you decide on a legal structure from sole owner, LLC or corporation, you need to obtain an LLC , DBA, or Corporation certificate to register your business name certificate or assumed firm name "Pasteleria By Sandra," because it is legally required.

For example, if you select a partnership or sole owner, you will need to file a Doing Business As (DBA) also called an assumed business name.

Second, You will need to buy your items, food, equipment, or merchandise related to the food service from wholesalers tax-free and sell them collecting sales tax.

To legally do that, you will need to obtain a wholesale licensed seller's permit to buy and sell TX wholesale or retail. The NY state sales tax rate is curtly 6.25%.

For example, if you sell a plate of food or a sandwich for $10, you will have to charge your client $10.63. In another instance, an $100 retail purchase has a $6.25 additional charge as sales tax.

Third, you need a TX business tax registration. The tax is a gross receipt tax called a business license, and it is based on your income, employees, and location.

Finally,
If you hire workers, the NY state income tax withholding is a percentage of the employee's gross taxable wages. Amounts included in wages and subject to mandatory federal withholding are subject to mandatory withholding.

Then all businesses are legally required to get a food Business License . In addition, if you use a trade name to conduct business.

Also, keep in mind that if you decide to hire food employees, you will need to apply and get an IRS EIN and register for state employment taxes i.e., get a state identification number.

Finally, food corporate entities are more prestigious, so though you may need to register a DBA Doing Business As you may want to consider becoming a corporate or limited liability company.

Seller's Permit

✔ Federal EIN

Note: All businesses need a federal tax ID number except sole proprietors that are not employers and are not independent contractors.
An independent contractor is a self employed business person that receives more than $600 per year from anyone of his or her clients.
IRS rule: The client must issue a 1099 form to the independent contractor and the independent contractor must have a federal tax ID. However, even sole owners may obtain a federal ID and use it as a business tax ID instead of using their own social security number as a business tax ID number.
However, all other licenses that apply to sole proprietors as discussed here are requited regardless of getting a federal tax ID number.

✔ State EIN

Also keep in mind that employers will need to obtain a federal EIN and a State EIN tax identificattion number. I.e., a NY Federal Tax Id Number ($29) and a(n) NY State Employer Tax Number

✔ L L C

Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Roslyn, Incorporate in NY or form a(n) NY LLC .

Filing a DBA is not required if you will set up an LLC or form a Corporation. If you will do business under your first and last legal name you will not need to get a fictitious business name.
Using any language that connotes additional owners in the name of the business makes filing a fictitious business name mandatory.

✔ Incorporation

If you do form an Wholesale Trade llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Food business instead of just filing a fictitious business name (dba), that insurs that you don't have personal liability for debts and civile liabililty arising from your business dealings and you will not have to record the Roslyn business name. In lieu of recording a Nassau County trade company name (our filing service fee includes trade name registration and newspaper legal publication for 4 weeks) you can also form a corporation in NY or form an NY LLC (starts @ $49 plus state fee for most states & includes bylaws for the corporation and Limited Liability operating agreement for the LLC that is required to open a business bank account). .
