New Hampshire levies no statewide general sales tax — one of only five states where that is true. That removes the single largest source of quiet liability for medical and dental practices and shifts the work onto payroll, entity filings, and the obligations below.
Employer registration runs through the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security, and the entity is registered with the New Hampshire Secretary of State. No sales tax and no wage income tax, but the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax both apply above modest thresholds.

Registering to do business in New Hampshire
Registering to do business in New Hampshire runs through the New Hampshire Secretary of State and employer accounts through the New Hampshire Department of Employment Security. Because New Hampshire has no sales tax account to maintain, there is one less registration to let lapse than in most states.
Entity-level obligations in New Hampshire
Beyond sales tax, New Hampshire imposes the Business Profits Tax and Business Enterprise Tax. The Business Profits Tax is levied on business income, and the Business Enterprise Tax on a base of wages, interest, and dividends paid — so a business can owe the BET while showing no profit at all. Both start at fairly modest levels of activity. That sits alongside registration with the New Hampshire Secretary of State, and it is the obligation most often missed by businesses who concluded from the absence of a sales tax that New Hampshire asks nothing of them. It is accrued as it builds rather than discovered at year end.
