Learn All the Essentials
What is a resale certificate?
A resale certificate (also known as a seller’s permit or reseller ID) allows you to purchase goods without paying sales tax, as long as those goods are intended for resale.
What are the benefits of having a resale certificate?
The main benefit is sales tax exemption on wholesale purchases. This reduces your costs and helps improve profit margins if you’re reselling products to customers.
Do I need a resale certificate?
You’ll need one if you buy products for resale, either online or in-store. This applies to retailers, e-commerce sellers, dropshippers, and wholesalers.
Do I need a Sales/Use tax license to get a resale certificate?
Yes. To obtain a resale certificate, you must first register for a Sales & Use Tax License with the state where you’re doing business. This registration provides you with a Sales Tax ID (SST ID), which is required to issue a valid resale certificate.
For more details, check out our blog post on Streamlined Sales Tax and how the process works.
How long does it take to get a resale certificate?
Once your Sales & Use Tax License is approved, the resale certificate is typically issued within a few business days, depending on the state.
Will I need to file taxes if I get a resale certificate?
Yes. Once you’re registered with a state and receive your Sales & Use Tax License, you’re generally required to file sales tax returns — even if no taxable sales were made. But no need to worry — Clemta’s dedicated tax team will assist you with tracking deadlines, sending reminders, and filing your returns on your behalf to keep you fully compliant.
Are there any fees to get a resale certificate?
Yes. Most states charge a fee to register for a Sales & Use Tax License, which is required before you can receive a resale certificate. Clemta’s service fee also covers the preparation, submission, and guidance throughout the process.
