Tax Exempt Status for Resellers​
​Tax-exempt status allows business to purchase goods for resale without paying sales tax at the point of purchase. Tax exemption prevents double taxation on goods that are ultimately sold to the end consumer who will be assessed sales tax.​
To be eligible for tax exempt status, the customer must:​
- Be a legitimate reseller, such as a retailer, wholesaler, or distributor.​
- Provide a valid resale certificate issued by the state where the business operates.​
- Purchase goods which are intended for resale and not for personal or business use.​
