	Who needs one? If you run any type of business that sells a product, you are required by Minnesota law to have a Minnesota Sales Tax Resale Number.

3 Reasons for Obtaining a State Sales Tax Certificate are listed below.

1. Minnesota law requires virtually every type of business to obtain a Minnesota Sales Tax Certificate Number. If you sell goods on eBay or the internet and ship them to someone in the state you reside, then you must collect sales tax from the buyer and pay the collected tax to your state on a monthly or quarterly basis. If you sell less than $4 million in annual sales, you do not have to collect or pay sales tax on out-of-state sales.
   • Minnesota Sales Tax Resale Certificate Example: If you live in Minnesota and you sell or ship something to someone else in Minnesota, then you must collect and pay sales tax to the State of Minnesota. But, if you sell the same item to someone outside the State of Minnesota, you need not charge sales tax, but must report the exempt tax sale to the State of Minnesota.
      
2. You are able to purchase items without paying Minnesota sales tax. When you buy an item that you plan to resell, you can purchase it without paying Minnesota sales tax. Items must be for resale or qualified business use.
   • Minnesota Sales Tax Resale Certificate Example: If you go to a wholesaler and buy a computer you plan to sell [like eBay], you  may purchase the item without paying state sales tax.
3. Wholesale companies in Minnesota require a sales tax resale certificate. Virtually all legitimate wholesale companies will ask for a copy of your resale certificate before they will sell to you at wholesale prices. Also, wholesale companies, require a Minnesota state sales tax certificate number to open a commercial account.
