Where to Get a Resale Certificate

A few days ago I blogged about how to get your Federal tax ID number.  Today I want to talk about the resale certificate. 

If you purchase items to sell on eBay, or if you purchase to make items to sell on eBay, you are not required to pay sales tax on the items you purchase that are for resale or go into the final product for resale.

When you purchase items or materials, the vendor you are buying from will want to see a "resale certificate" before they will remove the sales tax from your order.

Every state has a web site listing information about the tax rules in that state, and where you can obtain your resale certificate or sales tax ID number. Click on your home state below to go to the appropriate site, and get the information you need.
