How to get a resale license in Kentucky?

In Kentucky, the term “resale license” usually refers to the Sales and Use Tax Permit issued by the Kentucky Department of Revenue.

To sell at retail in the state, your business must first register for a Sales and Use Tax Account. Registration can be completed online through the Kentucky Business One Stop Portal, where you’ll provide information such as your business name, EIN, business category, and estimated sales activity.

Once you register, the state will give you a sales tax account number. Using that number, you can fill in Form 51A105, Kentucky Resale Certificate and submit it to your suppliers. Using that certificate, you can buy products tax-free if those products are going to be resold to your customers.

Keep in mind that while the state of Kentucky does not grant the physical "resale license", your sales tax account number and resale certificate actually comprise your legal resale permit.

Once operations start, you'll be collecting and paying sales tax from taxable sales and making returns periodically.
