D'Arcy · Eden, UT
D'Arcy told us: “Clothing, accessories and jewelry store!”
Hi D'Arcy, a clothing, accessories and jewelry store in Utah needs the Sales Tax License, since all of it is taxable. Wholesalers will accept Form TC-721 for items you buy to resell, but not hangers or shopping bags. If you have a storefront, your city may require its own license. A trade name different from yours needs a DBA, or an LLC can hold it.
Short answer: In Eden, Utah, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For a clothing and accessories boutique, that means the Sales Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The Utah version of the seller's permit is the Sales Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form TC-721 Exemption 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. Utah is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its TC-721 form covers resale purchases.

The owner told us: “Rental property owner.”

The Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate only covers items you resell, so it rarely applies here. Many owners hold property in an LLC for liability protection and use an EIN for banking and bookkeeping. Tell us how you rent and we can advise.
