Short answer: Get Retail License Salt Lake City UT Home Business: the key filing in Utah is the Sales Tax License. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form TC-721 Exemption Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
In Utah, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales Tax License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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. Goods bought to resell, whether to shoppers or to other stores, can usually be purchased with a resale certificate, and wholesale customers must give you theirs when they buy from you.
Tip: Keep retail sales and wholesale sales as separate lines in your books; different customers, different paperwork, one tidy trail.
