US LLC Resale Certificate & Seller Permit – CoFilings®
🇺🇸   United States · State Sales Tax

Get Your Resale Certificate & Seller Permit

Sell goods legally and stop paying sales tax twice. We help your US LLC obtain its seller's permit and resale certificate so you can collect sales tax properly, buy inventory tax-free for resale, and stay fully compliant with your state.

Sell Legally and Avoid Double Taxation

A seller's permit (also called a sales tax permit) registers your business with the state so you can legally collect and remit sales tax on the products you sell. Most states require one before you start selling taxable goods.

A resale certificate works alongside it — it lets you purchase inventory from suppliers without paying sales tax, since the tax is collected later when you sell to the end customer. Together, they keep you compliant and prevent you from being taxed twice on the same goods.

CoFilings® handles the applications for both, confirms your state's specific requirements, and gets you set up so you can buy and sell with confidence — ideal for ecommerce sellers, Amazon and Shopify stores, wholesalers, and retailers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between a seller's permit and a resale certificate?
A seller's permit registers your business to collect and remit sales tax on what you sell. A resale certificate lets you buy inventory from suppliers without paying sales tax up front, because that tax is collected later when you sell to the end customer. Many businesses need both.
Do I need one in every state?
It depends on where you have "nexus" — a tax connection to a state, such as a physical presence or significant sales volume. You generally need to register in each state where you have nexus. We'll help you determine where you're required to register.
Do online and Amazon sellers need a seller's permit?
Often yes. Selling through Shopify, Amazon, eBay, or your own store can create sales tax obligations in states where you have nexus. Even where marketplaces collect tax for you, a permit is frequently still required to source inventory or register your business.
How does a resale certificate save me money?
It lets you purchase goods you intend to resell without paying sales tax at the point of purchase. Without it, you'd pay sales tax to your supplier and then collect it again from your customer — effectively being taxed twice on the same product.
How long does it take to get approved?
Timelines vary by state — some issue permits immediately upon registration, while others take a few business days. We'll let you know what to expect for your specific state and keep you updated throughout.
Do these permits expire?
Some states issue permits that remain valid as long as your business is active, while others require periodic renewal. Resale certificates may also need updating for each supplier. We'll guide you on keeping everything current.
