Lavender in the air, soft towels warming, and a client sinking into a chair with a long exhale.
Short answer: Retail License Rhode Island: the key filing in Rhode Island is the Sales Permit. Suppliers will ask for its number and a Rhode Island Resale Certificate before they sell to you tax-free.
The Rhode Island version of the seller's permit is the Sales Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Rhode Island 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. Rhode Island is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so the uniform Streamlined certificate is also accepted. Retail products sold to guests can be bought with a resale certificate, while towels, oils and supplies used during treatments are usually taxable.
Tip: Confirm every practitioner's license is current before they touch a client. Calm clients are lovely; unlicensed ones are not.
