Salehoo Stores - Do I need a resllers or tax ID?

In the next two or three weeks i want to start an on line store. Can anyone tell me will i need a resellers licence or tax i d to get things moving? Thanks for any advise Bob

Hi Bob, that will come down to what supply method you are using. For example, if you will be purchasing from a wholesaler, then a tax id may well be required, in fact it's pretty much the norm with any wholesaler to request a tax if before trading with you.

Surplus stock, drop shipping, a tax id isn't usually required to use these supply methods.

Of course, as for you own taxation record keeping, well that is up to you :)

Hi Bob,

If getting either or both won't be too much of a hassle then it will definitely not hurt your business to secure both.

Have a reseller or tax ID will give you the opportunity to work with more suppliers plus it will show suppliers just how serious you are with your business!

All the best :)

Can anyone direct me on where to get reseller id or tax id number

Hi cbdstuff,

If you are based in the US or Canada, you can usually get one from your State’s website – just Google ‘Your State + sales tax’. Most states have an online form on their website these days. Most states also charge a small fee. This varies from state to state, but it's usually around $50.

If you can’t find any information online on how to get a seller permit, then just contact or visit your local County Clerk Office.

Hope this helps :)

I had a EIN from when I sold on ebay in 2006.Can I just use that number or do you think I need new number?

I'm not really sure as to how long that would last before being cancelled due to no use, but I would double check to see if it was still valid or if in fact it could be reactivated.

Hi Yolandarker,

A Indiana seller's permit is also called a state ID or a sales tax number
and a general Indiana state resale tax numbrer for business.
