What is a Seller’s Permit?
What is a Seller’s Permit?
A Seller’s Permit authorizes you to collect sales tax on taxable transactions involving goods and services. When you sell a tangible item, the state government requires you to add sales tax to the retail purchase price of your goods and services. That is called Sales Tax. The Seller’s Permit allows you to collect the sales tax from the consumer and remit it to the government.
Who needs a Seller’s Permit?
A Seller’s Permit is required for any entity (Corporation, LLC, Partnership, or Sole-Proprietorship) that sells tangible products. In simple terms, if you sell a product that a client can hold or touch, it most likely requires a Seller’s Permit to sell. In some states, services rendered may also be subject to sales tax.
Seller’s Permit Vs Wholesale License or Resellers Permit;
What’s the difference?
First, it is important to understand what each term means on top:
Seller’s Permit – This permit to sell a tangible good or service and collect sales tax from your client.
Wholesale License – This license that gives you the ability to make wholesale purchases from other vendors without paying sales tax on those purchases.
Resellers Permit –This permit allows you to sell goods to other vendors without charging the recipient sales tax on their purchase. The goods are being sold to another likewise vendor and not the final consumer, and therefore a Reseller’s Permit would be required.
Now that we understand what each license or permit is, it is also important to note that in most states there is only one permit that handles all 3 functions. If you plan to handle this process yourself, please ensure you are very clear with the government agency about your intention with the permit, so that you can determine the correct permit/license for your specific business needs.

Very informative and responsive. They answered all my questions and concerns with corporate formation and taxes.
I have been a BusinessRocket client for many years. The staff is friendly and helpful, which makes it super easy to communicate my needs. And each year that I have been their client, they surprise me by their effort. But this year, BusinessRocket forever earned my loyalty. Earlier this year purchased a domain that I wanted for my new business. But, I instantly ran into a problem when it was time to form the corporation. The name that I wanted was very close to an existing one. I told Angela at BusinessRocket, that I wanted that name, for my corporation. After multiple rejections by the Secretary of State, and conversions on how I can still use the name of the domain for my business. I started to accept the fact that I'm not going to get what I hoped. While I went back to brainstorming the new name, I received a call from Angela, wishing me a belated birthday, and congratulating me that the original name was accepted and that the Secretary of State is processing it. I am very grateful to BusinessRocket for their effort and support.
The best part about their service is how their system updates you as components of your company are completed. Documents filed? Boom, got an email notification. State docs received? Boom, email notification. Their staff is also extremely helpful both through the chat feature on their website and through email.
We worked with Alex at BusinessRocket and are thrilled that we found him. Alex asked great questions about our project, helped us prioritize the work and got the job done. On time, on budget. When there were project scope discussions, Alex was very informative and supportive of our decisions. You should have no reservations whatsoever about how BusinessRocket will provide services to you and your firm. They are great.
