Amazon FBA Resale Certificate

Buy cheap, sell with margin

In the United States, when you buy products to resell them, you should not pay sales tax on that purchase. However, suppliers will charge you that tax (between 6% and 10%) unless you present a valid Resale Certificate.

This document, issued by the State Department of Revenue (like the Florida Department of Revenue), certifies that you are an authorized reseller and exempts you from paying taxes on the acquisition of your merchandise.

💰 How much money are you losing?

If you buy $10,000 USD in inventory without this certificate, you could be paying up to $700 - $900 USD extra in unnecessary taxes. By having your certificate, that money stays in your pocket, directly increasing your net profit margin.
