011-2 Wyo. Code R. §§ 2-4 - Licensing

(a) Non-nexus vendors that are participating in the Streamlined Sales Tax Agreement can be registered in all member states through use of the centralized registration process provided under the agreement. Under this process, a seller registering under the agreement will not pay a fee for registration or licensing for any state where there is no legal requirement to register. No written signature of the licensing seller will be required. An agent may register a seller under uniform procedures adopted by the Streamlined Sales Tax Governing Board. Cancellation does not relieve the seller of its liability for remitting to the proper states any taxes collected.

(b) Governmental Entities. The retail sale, lease, or rental of tangible personal property or taxable services by the State of Wyoming or its political subdivisions shall be subject to the sales/use tax. The governmental entity shall be considered a vendor and shall be licensed and collect tax on taxable transactions.

(c) Tribal Members. Sales or Leases on the Wind River Indian Reservation. Persons on the Wind River Reservation who are engaged in selling or leasing tangible personal property or providing services subject to the sales or use tax shall become licensed as vendors. Vendors shall comply with all reporting requirements as directed by the Department for sales or leases occurring on the Reservation to any person who is not an enrolled member of the Northern Arapaho or Eastern Shoshone Tribes.

(d) Multiple Business Locations. At the vendor's option, they may ask to have multiple locations under the same ownership consolidated so the tax for all locations can be filed on a single return.

(e) Transfer of License. Sales/use tax licenses shall not be transferable. If there is a change from one legal entity to another, the new entity shall apply for a new sales/use tax license under the new entity's legal name. Any such change shall be reported to the Department immediately. The license fee shall be imposed on each such change.

(f) Any vendors or remote sellers selling exclusively through a marketplace facilitator shall not be required to license with the Department as long as the marketplace facilitator is licensed to collect and report taxes to the Department.

(g) Simply having a registered agent, virtual office, or accounting firm in Wyoming does not automatically prompt a licensing requirement.

(h) Persons engaged in occasional sales shall not be required to collect sales tax.
