A resale certificate, sometimes called a reseller or sales-tax exemption certificate, lets your business buy inventory tax-exempt because the tax is meant to be collected once, from the final customer. New Jersey charges a $75 annual report fee. If you sell taxable goods in New Jersey, getting your sales-tax permit and resale certificate set up correctly stops you overpaying on every restock and keeps you compliant with the New Jersey Department of Revenue.
How sales tax and resale work in New Jersey
New Jersey's base sales-tax rate is 6.625%. When you sell taxable goods to New Jersey customers, you collect that tax and remit it to the state. A resale certificate flips the other side of the equation: it lets you buy stock from suppliers tax-free, so you are not taxed twice on the same goods. It also keeps you clear on use tax, which applies when sales tax was not charged at purchase.
