Hair Party · Milwaukee, WI
The owner told us: “Selling hair.”
Selling hair, whether extensions or hair products, is retail in Wisconsin, so you need the Seller's Permit before buying wholesale. Suppliers will take the Form S-211 Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate with your permit number for inventory you resell. Hair Party works as a name once registered as a DBA or LLC. If you also style hair for clients, cosmetology licensing may apply.
Short answer: Seller Permit Wholesale Buying: Wisconsin doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Seller's Permit, backed by a Form S-211 Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption Certificate.
The Wisconsin version of the seller's permit is the Seller's Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form S-211 Wisconsin Sales and Use Tax Exemption 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. Wisconsin is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its S-211 form covers resale purchases.
