Please be aware that out-of-state businesses also must get a reseller permit in Florida if they have an office, employees, or delivery service here.
A Florida wholesale license/seller’s permit should not be confused with what is known as a resale certificate. Although they have similar names, they are in fact quite different. A Florida resale certificate (officially called a Florida Annual Resale Certificate for Sales Tax) allows a business to purchase goods free of tax so long as these items are to be resold later. This certificate is given by the buyer to the seller at the time of the initial transaction.
With an economy valued at over $1 trillion, Florida is a hotspot for a wide array of businesses, from the leisure and hospitality industry to the retail sector. Setting up a business here can be quite profitable—but it’s important to follow the various rules and regulations that apply to start-ups in this state. Among these is the requirement to get a seller’s permit.
If you intend to sell tangible goods in this state, you are probably required to obtain a Florida seller’s permit, which is also known as a resale license, wholesale license, sales and use tax permit, and reseller permit. The license gives you the authority to collect sales tax on behalf of the state. To get one of these special sales tax permits, all you need to do is follow our easy online ordering process.A seller’s permit is a state license that allows you to sell items at the wholesale or retail level and to issue resale certificates to suppliers.
