We recently took orders at the Atlanta Gift Market and buyers provided us with their sales tax numbers. I remember when we were buying things wholesale with a previous business, we actually faxed our sales & use tax certificate over to the vendor so they had it on file.

I feel like I should have a copy of their permit/certificate on file. Do you do this?

What's prompting this is someone who recently requested a wholesale price, but I don't think they are a reseller... They provided a number, but it simply appears to be their business registration and nothing to do with sales tax or retail.

Thanks in advance for your help.

You should get in the habit of requesting a copy from everyone, even the obvious ones like Macy's and Saks. Depending on the state, if you are ever audited and you don't have it, you could be held responsible for the tax yourself.

Thanks so much. That's what I figured...
