	Who needs one? If you run any type of business that sells a product, you are required by State law to have a State Sales Tax Resale Number.

3 Reasons for Obtaining a State Sales Tax Certificate are listed below.

1. State law requires virtually every type of business to obtain a State Sales Tax Certificate Number. If you sell goods on eBay or the internet and ship them to someone in the state you reside, then you must collect sales tax from the buyer and pay the collected tax to your state on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you sell less than $4 million in annual sales, you do not have to collect or pay sales tax on out-of-state sales.
   • State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Example: If you live in State and you sell or ship something to someone else in State, then you must collect and pay sales tax to the State of State. But, if you sell the same item to someone outside the State of State, you need not charge sales tax, but must report the sales to the State of State.
      
2. You are able to purchase items without paying State sales tax. When you buy an item that you plan to resell, you can purchase it without paying State sales tax. Items must be for resale or qualified business use.
   • State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Example: If you go to a wholesaler and buy a computer you plan to sell [like eBay], you  may purchase the item without paying state sales tax.
3. Wholesale companies in State require a sales tax resale certificate. Virtually all legitimate wholesale companies will ask for a copy of your resale certificate before they will sell to you at wholesale prices. Also, wholesale companies, require a State state sales tax certificate number to open a commercial account.
   • State Sales Tax Resale Certificate Example: Wholesale trade shows and merchandise marts require a copy before letting you participate.
