1. New Hampshire — No Sales Tax

   New Hampshire has no state sales tax and no local sales taxes, so businesses need no sales tax permit or resale registration for sales tax purposes. Businesses may instead owe the Business Enterprise Tax and the Business Profits Tax, both administered by the NH Department of Revenue Administration; BET paid can be credited against BPT. Restaurants, caterers and lodging operators separately collect the Meals and Rooms (Rentals) Tax and must hold a DRA license for it. Filing and payment are handled through DRA's Granite Tax Connect portal.

1. City of Concord — No General Business License

   Concord does not require a general business license, and the City Clerk does not run a business-licensing program (the Clerk handles dog licensing, vital records and elections). Licensing that does exist is administered by the Code Administration Division's Health and Licensing Services and is limited to specific activities — food service establishments, tattoo parlors and artists, peddlers and vendors, pawnbrokers and secondhand dealers, entertainment and places of amusement, taxicabs, junk dealers, charitable solicitation and special events. Check the City's Permits and Licenses page for what applies to your trade.

2. Mobile Dog Grooming — No State or County License

   New Hampshire does not license mobile dog grooming at the state or county level, and its counties have no animal-services agency. Concord's own licensing list does not include grooming. Related activities are licensed separately: keeping 5 or more dogs requires a $20 annual group (kennel) license from the city or town clerk under RSA 466:6, and transferring animals as a pet vendor requires a $200 state license from the Department of Agriculture, Markets and Food under RSA 437:3.
