Is it mandatory to have a retail location to apply for reseller certificate and or tax id number?

Question

I want to buy products wholesale for resale purpose but don't have a retail location. Can i sell using my home address?

Answer 1

The Doc is correct.

Answer 2

yes, but you will have to file sales and use tax returns - you can't use a business sales tax exemption certificate to avoid sales taxes on items you use for personal use - you have to either --1 - pay sales tax at the time of purchase or 2-pay use tax when you file your monthly/qtrly sales tax returns

Answer 3

Probably not, but It depends on the laws in the state and community.  

For example, if you elect to run an on-line retail business you should have a reseller certificate even though you don't have a retail location.
