Common Questions
What is a reseller certificate used for?
It lets you purchase inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front, since that tax is collected when you sell the item instead.
Who needs one?
Businesses that purchase goods specifically to resell them, such as retailers and some e-commerce sellers.
How is this different from sales tax registration?
A reseller certificate relates to your purchases; sales tax registration relates to collecting and filing tax on your own sales. Many businesses need both.
