Tyler · Chadbourn, NC
Hi Tyler, a clothing store in North Carolina needs the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Suppliers will accept the Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption on stock you buy to resell. Eight employees means an EIN and state employer registration, and Clothing Store would need a DBA unless it matches your legal name.
Short answer: For a clothing store in Chadbourn, North Carolina, the essentials are the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The North Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. A wholesale merchant must register; wholesale-only businesses with no taxable sales or purchases can choose a wholesale-only option and skip filing returns. North Carolina lets registered wholesale-only merchants opt out of filing sales and use tax returns.
