Sales and Payroll Tax Registration in the USA for Non-Citizens

The biggest problem is that some states even want you to have an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) before applying for a sales tax permit.

Every state has its own taxation norms thus they ask for different kinds of information. For instance, in Connecticut, they ask you to furnish general info around business identification, major business activities, organisation type, etc while in Indiana they ask stuff like estimated monthly taxable sales, is your business seasonal or regular; will you sell food and beverages, will that beverage be alcoholic, etc.

Most of the states have two payroll taxes: Withholding and Unemployment Tax. Owners/Managers have to sign-up for the appropriate accounts to hire, for processing payroll and to file returns. Payroll taxes are levied on both: federal and state level, thus, registration is required on both the fronts. Each state has different legal provisions governing employment taxes.

Both the taxes are applicable on employees’ paycheck, thus this registration is crucial to ensure correct deduction from each pay cycle and for smooth hiring formalities, respectively.

Ascertain the nexus of your business with states in which you operate. Then, you require a business checking account in the USA for which you need EIN.

For payroll tax registration, EIN is required. North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code has to be obtained, which categorizes businesses as per their industry and other particulars.

It varies from state to state.
