1. What is it?

It is a permit and a number that is issued to you by your state.

If you are engaged in business i.e. intent to sell goods that are subject sales tax, then you are required by law to obtain a sales and use tax permit from your state government.

2. How do I get it?

Getting a sales tax number is very easy and inexpensive.

Each state does it a bit differently, so it is hard for us to tell you exactly how to get a permit in your state.

Go to your state's web site and you will find information on how to apply for your permit. Many states allow you to apply online, while others will provide you with a form that you can fill out and mail in.

3. Why do I need to get it?

Because it is the law!

With out your permit, we cannot sell you goods at wholesale prices.

4. My state does not charge sales tax - what do I do?

Some states, such as Alaska, New Hampshire, Montana, Oregon and Delaware do not issue a Sales and Use Tax Permit, but do issue a Business Licence.

So please send in you business licence instead.

5. I am outside the USA - what do I do?

If you live outside the USA, then we do not require a Sales and Use Tax Permit, BUT we do require proof of business.

So please send in documents that prove to us that you are a valid business.
