[pianotech] Business License....???

<<Not a license to tune pianos, a license to do 
business. Sell your services, take clients' money, buy and sell pianos, etc. Every time money goes from one person to another, 
a state has the legal right to demand a portion of it. David Stocker, RPT Tumwater, WA>>

That's called paying taxes! If I'm only tuning pianos, and getting paid for this service, I am only required to pay taxes, not have a "license".

Since when are piano tuners required to be licensed? Unless you 
are referring to a *resale* license with the SBE, but for strictly piano tuning, 
no license is required.

"Licenses 
and Certifications Piano technicians are not required to be 
licensed. The PTG offers the industry's only regulated credentials, 
available to its members. Qualified piano technicians who pass three technical 
exams can obtain Registered Piano Technician (RPT) credentials. Although RPT 
certification is not required, it is typically an important selling point for 
self-employed piano technicians pursuing clients."

Please help!


Check with Syd Stone.  He had a license form the city of 
Hayward, Ca. When a nearby city told him he needed a license for their city, 
too.  He took it to court and won.  One license was sufficient.  
If you want to know any details, ask him, not me.  I told you all I 
know.

David,

I was always 
  curious that if we are licensed in the city in which we live as well as the 
  state, do we also have to have a license for all the surrounding cities in 
  which we work?  (It doesn't matter now, since I'm a CAUT), but I didn't 
  ever know if I was bending some sort of law living in Clinton, WA, but doing 
  business all around Puget Sound.

Best,
Paul
