What is the difference between a Business License and a Seller’s permit?
A Business License is issued by the City of South Lake Tahoe and is valid only for the City of South Lake Tahoe. A Seller’s permit is issued by the State of California and is valid for the entire State of California. If your business is required to collect sales or use tax, you must obtain a Seller’s permit from the State of California. An application for a Seller’s permit may be obtained from the State Board of Equalization. (800) 400-7115 or www.boe.ca.gov.
