One Of A Kind Dazzling Designs · Camden, AR
The owner shared: “I make handmade jewelry with supplies I buy at craft stores. I want to sell homemade candies to a couple of grocery stores locally as well as at vendor shows.”
Jewelry and candy make two different businesses under one name. Both need the sales and use tax permit in Arkansas, and the candy also needs food rules: a cottage food or food handler permit, depending on how and where you make it. Grocery stores will ask for your paperwork and may want proof of those food permits. Your craft store supplies stay taxable if they are used up, but materials that become your finished jewelry can be bought for resale.
Short answer: Wholesale License In Arkansas: Arkansas doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the sales and use tax permit, backed by a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption (resale).
The Arkansas version of the seller's permit is the sales and use tax permit. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption (resale). 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. Arkansas is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state, so buyers can use the uniform Streamlined exemption certificate for resale.

Kim told us: “I sell crafts and clothing on eBay.”
Hi Kim, eBay sales of crafts and clothing are taxable goods sales, so your Pennsylvania Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License matters even for a home business. With it, suppliers will take the Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate when you buy materials or inventory for resale. A kitchen-table seller can start as a sole proprietor with an EIN, and Kim Craft Store would need a DBA.
Short answer: Wholesale License15301: in Pennsylvania, what most people call a wholesale license is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. With it, and a Form REV-1220 Pennsylvania Exemption Certificate for your suppliers, an online crafts and clothing business can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
The Pennsylvania version of the seller's permit is the Sales, Use and Hotel Occupancy Tax License. Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for 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.
