City of Bethel business registration (Sales Tax Certificate) and sales tax filing

Before selling anything in Bethel you need a State of Alaska business license AND a City of Bethel Sales Tax Certificate (two-year certificate; apply online or on paper at the Finance Department). City sales tax is 6% on sales and services (12% on lodging, 15% on alcohol). Most sellers file a sales tax return every month - even a zero return - due the last day of the month after collection (February's tax is due March 31). Seniors can apply for a Senior Citizen Sales Tax Exemption Card. Questions: Sales Tax Division 907-543-2047.
