Short answer: Resale Permit In Virginia: the key filing in Virginia is the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Form ST-10 Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption before they sell to you tax-free.
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. Phones, cables and gadgets bought from distributors for resale are purchased with a resale certificate, and buyers pay sales tax at the register.
Tip: Sell cables with every gadget; the best gross margin in the store is the little charger nobody remembered.

Patrick shared: “I will sell electronics.”
Hi Patrick, electronics are taxable goods, so Georgia expects the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers will accept the Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption on stock you buy to resell. One employee means an EIN and state employer registration. Electronic may need a DBA, and used devices can add secondhand rules.
Short answer: In Smyrna, Georgia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an electronics business, that means the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
Georgia calls its seller's permit the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-5 Sales 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. Buyers using Form ST-5 generally need a Georgia sales tax number when registration applies to them. Georgia's ST-5 certificate covers resale and many other exemptions; the buyer marks the reason and lists its registration number.
