- It is used to avoid double taxation, ensuring sales tax is collected from the final consumer.
- These certificates are crucial for businesses operating across state lines to facilitate tax-free purchases.
- Common scenarios include drop shipping, inventory purchases across states, and temporary sales in other states.
- Acceptance of out-of-state resale certificates varies by state; some states require additional documentation or registration.
- Businesses may need a sales tax permit in the state where purchases are made.
