My Wife's Creations · Jacksonville, NC
The owner shared: “I am a manufacturer. I make candles, soaps and lotions and sell them to the public. I also provide supplies and products to other businesses for resale. I sell online, at flea markets and to consignment shops.”
Making and selling in several channels still comes back to the North Carolina Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Materials that end up in your products can be bought with the Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. Businesses buying from you for resale should give you their own certificates, which you keep on file. My Wife's Creations needs a DBA.
Short answer: Wholesale Licenses In North Carolina: in North Carolina, what most people call a wholesale license is the Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). With it, and a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption for your suppliers, a candle, soap and lotion maker can buy inventory for resale without paying sales tax up front.
In North Carolina, the seller's permit goes by the name Certificate of Registration (sales and use tax). Suppliers selling to you tax-free will ask for a Form E-595E Streamlined Sales and Use Tax Certificate of Exemption. A wholesale merchant must register; wholesale-only businesses with no taxable sales or purchases can choose a wholesale-only option and skip filing returns. North Carolina lets registered wholesale-only merchants opt out of filing sales and use tax returns.

Packing tape squealing, parcels stacked by size, and a phone that buzzes with another sale.
Short answer: Buy And Sell On Internet: an online sales business in Simpsonville typically needs the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
South Carolina calls its seller's permit the Retail License. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form ST-8A Resale Certificate. A retail license is required for retail sellers; a business making only wholesale sales may not need one. South Carolina also accepts the multistate uniform certificate in place of its ST-8A form if it contains the same information. Wholesale accounts for goods for online resale typically ask for proof of a seller's permit first; with it, inventory bought for resale is purchased without sales tax.
Tip: Know how each marketplace handles sales tax; some collect it for you and some leave that to you.
