Is a seller's permit/resale license and EIN/Tax ID the same? These are not the same thing. A seller's permit/resale license is the same as a state tax ID, as both are issued by the state for sales tax purposes. An EIN or federal tax ID number, however, is issued by the federal government, not the state.
While the EIN is indispensable for U.S. businesses in managing employee-related taxes and federal compliance, the VAT number facilitates the collection and remittance of Value Added Tax on goods and services in VAT-implementing countries, marking the fundamental distinction in their roles across different tax systems.
