Unique Body Babe Boutique · Sicklerville, NJ
The owner asked: “Boutique selling clothes online.”
In New Jersey the wholesale license you are asking about is really the Certificate of Authority, the state's sales tax registration. With it, suppliers will accept the Form ST-3 Resale Certificate and sell you clothing inventory tax-free. Clothing is often exempt from tax in New Jersey, but you still need the registration to hold the certificate. Unique Body Babe Boutique needs a DBA unless it is an LLC's exact name.
Short answer: For an online clothing boutique in Sicklerville, New Jersey, the essentials are the Certificate of Authority, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In New Jersey, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Authority. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-3 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. New Jersey's ST-3 resale certificate requires the buyer's New Jersey registration number for in-state buyers.

Charles · Satin And Lace Boutique · Milford, PA
Charles asked: “I sell wedding dresses and I have a store.”
Hi Charles, a wedding dress store in Pennsylvania needs the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, because gowns are taxable goods. Designers and wholesalers will usually ask for that license and the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate before selling stock tax-free. Alterations are treated differently, so ask. Satin And Lace Boutique with one employee also needs an EIN.
Short answer: Certificates Need For Clothing Strore In Pennsylvi: start with the structure (an LLC for most owners), then the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license.
In Pennsylvania, the seller's permit goes by the name Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate. Not a sales tax license. A business selling only to resellers applies for a wholesaler certificate instead; it cannot hold both. Pennsylvania issues a separate wholesaler certificate to businesses that sell only for resale; any retail selling requires the sales tax license instead.
