Hey guys, I have a nice boring accounting question. I am trying to get in with a pv distributor as they can provide me with leads and lots of work. As I went through the application process and was talking with the rep they asked for my reseller certificate number. I was kind of blind sided and quite frankly embarrassed as I didn t have one and didn t really know what it was. After some research I see it is a way to not pay sale taxes then collect the sales tax from the customer and pay the state directly myself. I ve never done this before, I ve always just payed it myself then charged my customers accordingly. It seems like a headache and just more paperwork to do it this way. Does anyone else do this? Have I been ignorant this whole time? Keep in mind my company is new (less than a year) and small (2 men including myself).
