Pocatello Business Tax Registration ( Business License)
All businesses including home, online or mobile BUSINESS need a BUSINESS license because they are BUSINESSES.



A(n) Massage Therapy business doing business under an assumed business name in Bannock County i.e. you are a business that uses a DBA doing business as trade name to trade that is other than the full legal (first and last -- full name) name of a sole proprietor or a name other than the LLC or Corporation business name need a(n) assumed business name certificate.   E.g. you venture into a(n) Massage Therapy business and you give it a trade name such as "Excellence Massage Therapy & Associates". You will need to register an assumed business name certificate.

In Idaho you need a resale ID ( AKA seller's permit) if you selling touchable items.  (A.K.A state id, wholesale, resale, reseller certificate, about $39 for most states).
Seller's Permit



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.


In addition you will need a federal and a state EIN if you will hire employees. I.e., a ID Federal Tax Id Number ($29)  and a(n) ID  State Employer Tax Number  


Instead of filing a fictitious business name DBA Filing (about $49 plus state and legal newspaper publication fees) in Pocatello, Incorporate in ID  or form a(n) ID 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.
Also note that even using your first and last name may not help you avoid filing a DBA if the name has a suffix such as "& sons" etc.



If you do form an Other Services llc or incorporate (about $49 plus state fees for most states) your Massage Therapy 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 Pocatello business name. In lieu of recording a Bannock 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 Idaho or form an ID 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). .

    1. Hi, I am Amelia. This is for a massage business sole proprietorship, but we want to be an LLC. I am selling lotions, creams and other items.

    2. We will be performing relaxing massages for head/neck areas, a spa relaxing and washing the body and massage such as simple socking body both water with some aromatherapy oil essentials and washing with a nice salt scrub.

    3. We won't get in trouble with no massage license for our hobby, minuscule massage business?



    ANSWER: Hi Amelia, 1. A massage therapist will manipulate muscles and other soft tissues to improve circulation, relieve pain, and heal injuries and induce relaxation. Because of that, you will need a state massage professional license.

    As a massage therapist, you can be an LLC by just ordering the LLC service from us and your partner can state an S corporation. If you want it that way, you will need to form a partnership for both of these corporate entities by, yet, forming another LLC and treat it as a partnership for S Corp and your therapist LLC. Our LLC service includes all you need to run your LLC -- namely, the LLC certificate and the LLC operating agreement.

    Note that most states charge sales tax for massage because it is a personal service and thus is subject to sales tax. So you need the seller's permit whether you sell items or not.

    That said, for anything considered "massage therapy," yes, you need a permit specific to massage in MI, for massage therapy but not for foot massage because before you can start working as a massage therapist, you'll need to get licensed by completing a Michigan Board approved supervised curriculum of Massage Therapy.

    So, a Massage license, for which such a permit is required, in most states and for example, in NV, under NRS 640C.580  License to practice massage therapy: The massage board before issuance, will consider qualifications; requirements; application; fees; fingerprints; examination; and investigation.

    1.  The Board may issue a license to practice massage therapy.
    2.  An applicant for a license must: (a) be at least 18 years of age. That said, you don't need a massage therapy license and the term massage therapy includes the external application of water, heat, cold, lubricants or other topical preparations, lymphatic techniques, myofascial release techniques and the use of electromechanical devices which mimic or enhance the action of the massage techniques. ; Massage therapy; license required; ACT 118.

    Also, being a minuscule business does not exempt you from licensing because the IRS has determined that you have to pay taxes because income from WHATEVER SOURCE is derived is taxable, and therefore you need to be set up as a business, so you will be taxed accordingly.

    This is because LLCs are taxed differently from their sole proprietor, for example. Likewise, such income is subject to sales tax in most states, but not yet in PA because Massage Therapy is not subject to sales tax in Pennsylvania. Massage therapy not subject to sales tax: PA list of taxable services. However, massage therapists do have to pay income taxes because as a massage therapist, you need to collect sales tax and remit it to the state when selling themes. Not only that, but as a business, you are subject to income tax (about 8%).

    If you are providing massage services, whether by foot or other message, it requires licensing because you are a retailer of these services, and you must collect and pay sales taxes.

    Whether this is a full-time business or a hobby. In order to collect sales tax, you will need to register for a seller's permit.

    And, yes, you need a business license and an EIN because all businesses need a BUSINESS license and an EIN can be used as the business identification number as well as an employer number.

    That being said, you still need to register your business name "The Beautiful Feet of Those That Serve The Lord," with a DBA, LLC or a corporation, get an EIN, a business license and if hiring a state EIN as well.

    That said, everything else is like any other business.

    For example, you need to select a legal structure such as LLC or partnership, and obtain a certificate for that structure.

    HOW TO GET YOUR MASSAGE BUSINESS ROLLING AND STAY OUT OF TROUBLE WITH THE TAX MAN

    Let me tell you something, folks. Starting a massage business ain't all soft towels and gentle kneading. You gotta get your licensing in order. But don't worry, I got your back, baby.
    📊

    Industry Statistics and Financial Requirements

    Market Data:
  • ✅ Average massage therapy session: $60-$120
  • ✅ Industry growth rate: 32% (2019-2029)
  • ✅ Total licensed massage therapists in US: ~385,000
  • ✅ Average annual income: $47,180

  • First things first, if you already got a massage license in one state, you may be able to practice in another state with reciprocity. But if you want to avoid any sticky situations, it's best to just get a professional massage license where your business is located.

    Once you got that covered, you gotta get yourself a general Business License. And if you wanna get fancy with a trade name like "Super Soft Body Mass Age Massage Therapy", you gotta register that bad boy with a fictitious business name registration. You can even go all out and incorporate or form an LLC for your massage business. I'm talking legit, people.

    But here's the kicker. In many states, massage services are taxable. And you don't wanna mess with the tax man, trust me. So you need a seller's permit to collect the sales tax for the service.

    For example, in Iowa, you gotta pay up for Turkish baths, massage, reducing, and tanning salons. And in Hawaii and South Dakota, you're looking at a 4% sales tax. But don't forget, Hawaii charges that same tax on all services and business activities.

    And listen, in Minnesota, massages are exempt from sales tax, but you still gotta cough up a 2% gross receipt tax. And in New York, messages are subject to New York City local taxes. Ain't that a punch in the gut?

    But wait, there's more. In Washington state, massages are hit with a 1.5% sales tax on top of other taxes. And if you're in Delaware and making over $50,000 a month, you're gonna need to pay some sales tax. And if you're in Connecticut and you ain't a licensed therapist, you're looking at a sales tax of 6%.

    So there you have it, folks. Get your licensing, get your permits, and pay your taxes. And remember, always keep it professional, but don't forget to give those muscles a good rubdown.

    LLC (Limited Liability Company) FAQs:


    Q: Is setting up an LLC a better choice than filing a DBA?

    A: If the business market projection is a target fot the company you should consider forming an LLC. For example if the assumed business name is . deAshleytch Ashley's Therapeutic MassageCo. this name as well as any other name is an assumed business name and it must be recorded as a DBA Doing Business As name which also requires a fee to be recorded.

    A trade registration is requred but if the owner wants to use the business name exclusively he or she cannot because anyone else can also file the same trade name. Nor does the trade name registration protects the owner from personal legal or financial liability as forming a limited liability company (LLC) . It is perhaps a better choice to just incorporate for the same or a little higher fee because you will also have corporate protection for the business name and personal vs business liabilities.

    E.g. if your business has debts the lender can sue you personally to obtain a judgment vs your personal assets as opposed in the case you were a corporation where the lender could only sue the corporation directly and if the limited liability company (LLC) had no assets the lender could get nothing.

    Note that once you incorporate no one can register the limited liability company (LLC) name at the state level.

    Q: Can I apply by phone and set up a limited liability company (LLC)?.
    A: You can apply by phone but the best way is to just fill out our online limited liability company (LLC) form.

    Q: Does an LLC without employees need a tax ID number?
    A: An LLC without employees may not need a tax ID number but an LLC with more than one owner does need one. In addition if the LLC is engaged in selling taxable items such as clothing it will need a sales state tax ID number in addition to any other tax ID.

    Q: What if I an an out of state business? Do I still need to register and obtain a limited liability company (LLC)?
    A: Unless you have a location in the state you sell it is not required to form an LLC there.

    Q: When do I have to change my limited liability company (LLC)?
    A: You may have to get a new tax ID number if your status as a business changes. For example if you change from sole owner to a partnership or from LLC to corporation as well as when you buy a new business you need to get a new tax ID under your business name or individual name.

    Q: Do I need to obtain a federal or state tax ID number before forming a limited liability company (LLC) or getting other licenses?
    A:

    Q: What are the benefits of havin a DUNS number?
    A: You can use it to your benefit by providing favorable business information to make it more likely to get a loan from a lender bank.

    Q: Do I need to pay sales tax to the state as an LLC?
    A: Paying sales tax depends on your state. For example in Oregon you dont need to pay sales tax but you still need a resale certificate to buy from other states wholesale products.
