Short answer: Register For A Wholesale License For Clothing Manf: in Colorado, what most people call a wholesale license is the sales tax license. With it, and a Form DR 0563 Sales Tax Exemption Certificate (Multi-Jurisdiction) for your suppliers, a clothing distributor can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In Colorado, the seller's permit goes by the name sales tax license. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form DR 0563 Sales Tax Exemption Certificate (Multi-Jurisdiction). 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. Many Colorado home-rule cities collect their own sales tax and issue their own licenses, separate from the state. Wholesale customers purchasing apparel should provide a resale certificate, and keeping a copy on file shows why no sales tax was charged on those sales.
Tip: Ask each retail buyer for a resale certificate before the first order ships; boutiques love discounts, and your paperwork loves the proof.
