Short answer: Tax Id In Indiana: Indiana doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Registered Retail Merchant Certificate, backed by a Form ST-105 General Sales Tax Exemption Certificate.
The Indiana version of the seller's permit is the Registered Retail Merchant Certificate. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form ST-105 General Sales 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. Indiana's ST-105 certificate requires the buyer's Indiana registration number for resale claims by in-state buyers. Food, toys and supplies bought for resale are purchased tax-free with a resale certificate, while shelving, bags and cleaning products are taxable.
Tip: Stock a bin of treats at the register. Dogs know exactly where it is, and they bring their people.

Hi Selmer, selling fish, corals and aquarium supplies means Georgia's sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration) for your taxable retail sales. Suppliers will ask for that number and Form ST-5 Sales Tax Certificate of Exemption before selling to you tax-free, which covers livestock and supplies you resell. Your tanks, filters and cleaning gear do not count. Check for any rules on live coral imports, and an LLC suits a storefront.
Short answer: For a tropical fish and aquarium store in Hiram, Georgia, the essentials are the sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In Georgia, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax number (Certificate of Registration). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for 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.
