A business selling taxable goods or services may need to register with the appropriate state tax authority before collecting sales tax. Requirements depend on the business's activities and where it has applicable sales-tax obligations. Swyft Filings currently offers seller's-permit filing assistance.

Swyft Filings' seller's permit service collects the business details needed for the state registration, prepares and reviews the application, and submits it to the correct state tax authority. A seller's permit generally authorizes a business to collect sales tax on taxable transactions and remit that tax to the state. Whether a permit is required depends on what the business sells and where it has sales-tax obligations.

Swyft Filings' business-license research service is intended to help identify licensing and permit requirements that may apply based on the business's location and activities. This is important because a company can be properly formed with the state and still lack a separate local, professional, industry, zoning, health, or tax registration needed to operate lawfully.
