Short answer: Obtain Tax ID Elizabethton TN Sole Owner Store: Tennessee doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the sales and use tax certificate of registration, backed by a Tennessee Certificate of Resale.

Buying and selling wholesale in Tennessee

In Tennessee, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax certificate of registration. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Tennessee Certificate of Resale. 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. Separately, wholesalers generally register for the state business tax. Tennessee's business tax classifies a business as wholesaler or retailer each year, depending on whether wholesale sales exceed half its total sales. Distributors of artificial flowers and supplies will usually sell to you with no sales tax added once you hand over a resale certificate, since tax is collected later from your own customers.
