Hi Guys,

When having multiple websites do i need a new DBA from the city i am in? Would i need a new sales tax permit from the state for each new name?

Each site sells different products but has same address. I know each states laws are different but in general what do you do?

Thanks in advance!

Here in Missouri, you can just file a "fictitious" name for each dba...all under the corporate entity.

In Va, I filed d/b/a with my local courthouse, then once certified sent them to the state corporation commission. Having all this in order made getting my EV certs very easy and both was approved within two business days. Call your state corporation commission and see what is required.

Would you think i need a separate State Sales Tax permit for each DBA?

Not sure about your state, but here in VA, all my tax information is run through my LLC. I have one set of books, all websites are included. All credit card processing stats my LLC name, not the name of my website. By doing it this way, I have file one tax return on my business. Talk to a CPA or tax professional and see what is required for your area.
