Short answer: Wholesale License In Augusta Georgia: in Georgia, what most people call a wholesale license is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). With it, and a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption for your suppliers, a jewelry reselling business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.

Buying and selling wholesale in Georgia

The Georgia version of the seller's permit is the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption. Suppliers generally accept a resale certificate only from a buyer registered for sales tax, so even a business that mostly buys and sells wholesale usually registers. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number. Inventory of jewelry bought for resale bought for resale is exempt from sales tax at purchase when the buyer gives the supplier a resale certificate, while supplies used in the business stay taxable.

What a jewelry reselling business needs in Augusta, GA

LLC – limits personal liability, and an LLC under its exact name needs no extra DBA
Trade Name (DBA) – lets the bank accept checks made out to your business name
Federal tax ID number (EIN) – keeps your Social Security number off W-9 forms and supplier paperwork
Sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration) – required before the first taxable sale, including online, flea market and craft fair sales
Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption – covers goods you resell, not supplies you use up
State employer ID – for state income tax withholding and unemployment insurance
Augusta business license – renewed every year; inspectors may visit if you sell food or work with the public

Same permit, different names in other states

Arizona: the Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) license. Arizona's TPT is a tax on the seller's privilege of doing business, not a tax on the buyer.
Texas: the Sales and Use Tax Permit. In Texas a customer's permit number alone is not a substitute for a signed resale certificate.
California: the seller's permit. A California resale certificate normally shows the buyer's seller's permit number; sellers accept it in good faith to skip tax.

Tip: Keep records of what you buy and from whom; resale of used jewelry usually comes with extra rules.

Industry code: NAICS 448310 (Jewelry Stores), 458310 under the 2022 update
