[@shaxzoda7379]

Thank you Ginny. As always you are very informative.

[@ginnysilver]

Very welcome, thank you!

Hi what if I get a sellers permit. But end up not buying and selling anything ?

[@yzchenwei]

In california, you still need to file report in timely manner, or close it as soon as possible to avoid any penalty. Yes, you do get fines if you don't file your report even the amount is 0.

Thank you Ginny. As an Amazon Seller, do I need a Seller's Permit? My goal is to obtain a resale certificate for wholesale. I already got an EIN, however my company is not US-based, can I still apply for California resale certificate? thank you

[@debbiehall9724]

Hi Ginny.. .got your application for directional assistance....I reviewed your rates and they are out of my range at this time and in these times.....I felt like I wanted to let you know and this is the only way I can communicate to you. Truely wish things could be better for me financially but not so at this time. Much luck and success with this endeavor....please keep me in the loop with updates as my circumstances I hope will improve down the line. Kind regards, Debbie

[@ginnysilver]

Of course - completely understand! Hope you are having a good week, Debbie!

If I open an online boutique in Arkansas where I live, but I am getting my wholesale merchandise from California, do I need my sellers permit from my state or California?

[@ginnysilver]

Both. California requires a CA sellers permit in order to purchase CA wholesale

[@fifiearthwanderer]

What if I am selling on Amazon. They collect the sales tax. Can i still get a sellers permit? Will they know I am selling on a marketplace facilitator?

[@ginnysilver]

If you have intent to sell, you can hold a seller's permit. File your sales tax return and report your sales as 0 if you are using a marketplace facilitator since they are the ones transacting and conducting the sales/tax.

[@diegolopez6418]

Do i need a sellers permit if im trying to buy wholesale in california to sell exclusively out of state?

[@ginnysilver]

You can not buy wholesale in California without holding a California Seller's Permit. You are required to obtain a seller's permit if you are engaged in business in Ca including: If you are a retailer located outside California, you are required to register with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) and collect California use tax on your taxable sales and report and pay the tax to CDTFA if you are "engaged in business in this state." You are engaged in business in this state if any of the following situations apply to your business: 1. Business location in California You maintain, occupy, or use, directly or indirectly, or through a subsidiary or agent, a permanent or temporary office, place of distribution, sales or sample room, warehouse or storage place, or other physical place of business in California. 2. Representative in California You have a representative, agent, or independent contractor operating in the state on your behalf or under your authority, or under the authority of your subsidiary, for the purpose of making sales, taking orders, assembling or installing merchandise, training customers, making deliveries, or otherwise establishing or maintaining a market for your products. 3. Lease property in California You receive rental payments from the lease of personal property that is located in California, such as lease of machinery, equipment, and furniture. For more information on leases of personal property, see our publication 46, Leasing Tangible Personal Property. 4. Real or Personal Property You own or lease real property or personal property located in California such as machinery, equipment, furniture, or a computer server. 5. Sales for Delivery in California Beginning April 1, 2019, you are engaged in business in this state if, during the preceding or current calendar year, the total combined sales of tangible personal property for delivery in California by you and all persons related to you exceed $500,000. A person is related to you if they have a relationship with you as described in Internal Revenue Code section 267(b) and related regulations. Prior to April 1, 2019, you would not be engaged in business in this state based upon your sales for delivery in California.

Hi Ginny - will this work for Amazon sellers?

[@ginnysilver]

Are you asking if Amazon seller's are wholesale retailers? Amazon is a retail site so wholesale orders would not be placed there. However, some retailers will accept a resale certificate and not collect sales tax since this is optional and their own choice to accept or not. You can ask but many mainstream retailers will not.

[@givimom7798]

@@ginnysilver hi Ginny - I am an Amazon seller so wondering if I can purchase from them to resell. I should have been more clear :)

[@ginnysilver]

Retailers usually would purchase from wholesalers to resell, yes.

[@OURFAMILYRIOS]

IF I GOT A SELLER PERMIT BUT WANT TO START A WHOLESALE BUSINESS UNDER ANOTHER NAME OTHER THAN MY NAME I HAVE TO FILE FOR A DBA ? TO START ANY SALES.

[@ginnysilver]

What name is your business license under?

[@OURFAMILYRIOS]

@@ginnysilver so I only got the sellers permit but what I put the DBA question (fictitious name) under on the sellers permit is what I need to file the business license under and DBA?

[@ginnysilver]

Yes you must file a DBA as well as a business license and any other permits listed for your county on calgold.ca.gov

[@mik4819]

Can I start wholesale dropshipping with DBA in California?

[@ginnysilver]

A DBA is only one piece of the registration you need to have a business. You need a seller's permit and business license as well.

Hello!!

[@ginnysilver]

Hi!!

[@styles_1031]

What nobody wants to tell you is that the permit is going to cost you $2000 minimum

[@ginnysilver]

Incorrect. A seller's permit in California is free.

[@styles_1031]

@@ginnysilver but there is a mandatory $2000 minimum deposit!

[@ginnysilver]

That does not apply to all - some may however that is dependent on the type of business and estimated total sales.
