RE: Does giving yourself a "business" name become a tax issue?

I am in CA so where ever your located laws might be different.
With that said, when I looked into getting my CITES permits and talking to every form of my Local, State, and Govt. departments I haven't been given a full answer. The closest I got was from the local County that said in my home I could not have more than 5(?) Pythons if I was breeding them. IF you sell any, then it is considered a "Business" and a License is then needed.
So I would say just giving yourself a Business name is Ok, heck I have one. It's when you start breeding and selling that a Permit will be required and then the Tax stuff kicks in.
Again though this is in CA im sure the other 49 states follow a similar idea, but the best thing would be to talk to your County/City Business area, sorry I can't think of their proper title. I think you might get an answer from the Tax Assesor.
I know this isn't exactly what you were looking for but I hope it helps somewhat. Good luck!
