What is a Resale Certificate?
A resale certificate is a document issued by the state that allows retailers to purchase goods for resale without paying sales tax. As a wholesale distributor and marketplace, MerchShowroom.com requires a valid resale certificate from our customers to ensure compliance with state tax regulations. This certificate proves that the items purchased will be resold and that the buyer, not the seller, will be responsible for collecting sales tax from the end customer.
