FAQs - Do I need a sales tax license? How do I file and pay sales tax?

If you sell a taxable item or provide a taxable service, you will need a sales tax license to collect and remit sales tax, as well as claim resale exemptions to avoid sales tax on items you intend to resale.

You can learn more about what is and what is not subject to Pennsylvania Sales Tax by referring to the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue’s Retailer’s Information Guide . There is no fee to apply.

You can obtain a sales tax license by completing an online business tax registration in the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue’s myPATH system.

For assistance with registering in myPATH, refer to the Apply for State Business Taxes help guide and/or Obtaining State Tax Accounts video tutorial.

To file and pay sales tax, you must login to your myPATH user account. If you do not already have a myPATH user account, you should sign up for one from the myPATH homepage.
