Myrtle Beach, SC
Rings catching the light, a polishing cloth on the counter, and a small velvet box clicking shut.
Short answer: For a jewelry sales business in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, the essentials are the Retail License, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, plus an LLC or other structure.
In South Carolina, the seller's permit goes by the name 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. Your suppliers of jewelry will want a copy of your resale certificate on file before they ship inventory without sales tax.
Tip: Photograph jewelry with a ruler or hand for scale. Buyers cannot tell if a ring is a ring or a boulder.

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.
