Sue shared: “Jewelry.”
Hi Sue, jewelry sales in Maryland are taxable, so register for the Sales and Use Tax License. Findings, stones and beads that end up in what you sell can be bought tax-free using the Maryland resale certificate, while pliers and torches cannot. Craft shows often ask to see the license. G's Creations is a trade name, so a DBA is your next filing.
Short answer: For a handmade jewelry business in Gwynn Oak, Maryland, the essentials are the Sales and Use Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
The Maryland version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Maryland resale 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. Maryland has no local sales taxes, so one state license covers the whole state.

Tynnishua asked: “Sell goods and services wholesale online.”
Hi Tynnishua, To buy at wholesale prices, a Virginia supplier will want the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration and Form ST-10, the certificate of exemption. Selling to the public online is retail even at wholesale prices, so that registration is needed. Gifts Of Love LLC can use its exact LLC name without a DBA. Sales into other states may create tax duties there. We can file it all.
Short answer: In Alexandria, Virginia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an online jewelry and goods business, that means the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
The Virginia version of the seller's permit is the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. 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. In-state buyers using Form ST-10 generally need a Virginia registration; out-of-state buyers can cite their home-state number. Out-of-state buyers do not need a Virginia registration to give a valid Virginia resale certificate.
