Scott · Wholesale Vehicle Trade · Omaha, NE
Hi Scott, vehicle wholesaling is a regulated trade, so the first stop in Nebraska is usually a dealer license, and that comes before the usual business paperwork. For tax, the Sales Tax Permit and the Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate are what a dealer shows when buying vehicles for resale. Since you have one employee, you will also want an EIN and state employer registration.
Short answer: Vehicle Wholesale: Nebraska doesn't issue a document called a "wholesale license." The registration suppliers ask for is the Sales Tax Permit, backed by a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate.
The Nebraska version of the seller's permit is the Sales Tax Permit. To buy for resale without paying sales tax, you give the supplier a Form 13 Resale or Exempt Sale 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. Nebraska is a Streamlined Sales Tax member state; its Form 13 covers resale purchases.
