Kim told us: “I sell crafts and clothing on eBay.”
Hi Kim, eBay sales of crafts and clothing are taxable goods sales, so your Pennsylvania Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License matters even for a home business. With it, suppliers will take the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate when you buy materials or inventory for resale. A kitchen-table seller can start as a sole proprietor with an EIN, and Kim Craft Store would need a DBA.
Short answer: Wholesale License15301: in Pennsylvania, what most people call a wholesale license is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. With it, and a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate for your suppliers, an online crafts and clothing business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
The Pennsylvania version of the seller's permit is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead.
