Guy at counter will ask for tax license, and proof of being
in the trade.

Don't know about trade shops in your neck of the world, but here, in this
economy, they don't care about who you are as long as you have money to pay
for the items. Regarding the tax, here it is a VAT tax and they collect it
from everybody, in or out the trade.
