Hi Bertina, an online store selling t-shirts, shorts and tops in Nevada needs a seller's permit. Suppliers will accept the Nevada resale certificate once they confirm your permit, so inventory is purchased tax-free. If you sell to other states, watch their thresholds too. Las Vegas expects a city business license, and you will want an EIN for your bank.
Short answer: Las Vegas 89115: an online clothing store in Las Vegas typically needs the seller's permit, a federal tax ID number (EIN) and a local business license, with an LLC and a DBA if you use a trade name.
Nevada calls its seller's permit the seller's permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Nevada resale certificate (buyer must hold a seller's permit). Nevada requires businesses selling tangible goods in the state to register, and a seller's permit is a prerequisite for issuing resale certificates. Nevada also has a Commerce Tax on businesses with large Nevada gross revenue, which can reach wholesalers.

Hi Dominique, in South Carolina the Retail License is what lets you collect sales tax, and it opens the door to the Form ST-8A Resale Certificate that wholesale suppliers will ask for. Selling to all states is a bigger question: once you pass another state's sales threshold, you may need to register there too. Empresz Stylez needs a DBA only if you trade under it without an LLC of that name.

The South Carolina version of the seller's permit is the Retail License. When you buy inventory to resell, the paperwork is 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.
