Interesting. It seems that a business license may not be more than jsut
another way for the guvment to mind your business and collect yer money.  My
favorite collection scheme is the ever unpopular unsecured property tax. ie.
machinery etc. You pay sales tax on it when you buy it then they want you to
pay a tax on the same stuff...every year? I believe this is double taxation.
So, in this case what happened to the constitutional issue of no double
taxation? 
  Yes I took a left turn. Sorry

Yes, and...... 

 

I'm in Wisconsin also, but don't have a business license.  When I went to
Downtown Madison and inquired, I was told I could get one, but that it
wasn't required.  I got one at the time, but it has since expired......

I am an S-Corp, and have two ID numbers, one Federal, and one State, under
which I file my Federal taxes and my State taxes, both Income and Sales and
Use Taxes for the state.

 

But I don't have a license.  FWIW.

Texas has had sales tax forever but until October 2, 1984 there was no sales
tax on labor.  I called the state when I first started in business here
(1973) and was told not to get a sales tax number unless I planned to sell
things.  The man on the phone said that if I sold a piano bench to put it
down as labor.  He said, they didn't want to be bothered with businesses
that would send them $10.00 a quarter.  After 1984 when labor charges had to
add sales tax, I had to get a sales tax number and file returns.  That's
still the only state requirement.

Each state is unique with respect to business licenses, permits etc.
