Hi Dianna, Selling hair online means taxable retail sales, so Hair Hair & Hair needs Minnesota's Sales and Use Tax Permit. Then you can give suppliers the Form ST3 Certificate of Exemption and buy your inventory tax-free. A resale permit won't be accepted for packaging and supplies you use up. As your sales spread across the country, you might have to register in other states once you pass their thresholds, so track your orders by state.
Short answer: Online Resale License: Minnesota doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales and Use Tax Permit, backed by a Form ST3 Certificate of Exemption.
Minnesota calls its seller's permit the Sales and Use Tax Permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST3 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. Minnesota is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its ST3 form covers resale purchases.
