Totes of mystery inventory stacked in a spare room, a ring light blazing over a photo table and a to-ship pile growing by the door.
Short answer: Buy Wholesale Omaha NE: in Nebraska, what most people call a wholesale license is the Sales Tax Permit. With it, and a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate for your suppliers, an online reselling business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In Nebraska, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax Permit. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate. 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. Nebraska is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its Form 13 covers resale purchases. Items bought at wholesale or liquidation for resale are purchased with a resale certificate where suppliers ask for one, while shipping materials are normally taxed.
Tip: List items the day they arrive; stock you haven't photographed is just a pricey rug on the floor.
