New Vintage Designs · Yarmouth Port, MA
The owner shared: “I make jewelry for sale at craft shows and shops.”
Selling jewelry at craft shows in Massachusetts needs the sales and use tax registration (Certificate of Registration), because shows do not cover your tax. Shops that buy from you give you the Form ST-4 Sales Tax Resale Certificate to keep on file, and your bead suppliers will ask for yours. A DBA covers New Vintage Designs as a trade name.
Short answer: For a jewelry maker in Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts, the essentials are the sales and use tax registration (Certificate of Registration), a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In Massachusetts, the seller's permit goes by the name sales and use tax registration (Certificate of Registration). When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form ST-4 Sales Tax 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. Massachusetts' ST-4 resale certificate requires the buyer's registration number.

Tynnishua asked: “Sell goods and services wholesale online.”
Hi Tynnishua, To buy at wholesale prices, a Virginia supplier will want the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration and Form ST-10, the certificate of exemption. Selling to the public online is retail even at wholesale prices, so that registration is needed. Gifts Of Love LLC can use its exact LLC name without a DBA. Sales into other states may create tax duties there. We can file it all.
Short answer: In Alexandria, Virginia, businesses are required to obtain licensing before they start operating. For an online jewelry and goods business, that means the Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Registration, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus a structure and name registration.
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.
