Legal Question in Business Law in New York

Re: Reselling wholesale merchandise online

No, you don't "have to" but it's a damn good idea. What you DO have to do is secure the necessary tax permits (i.e. sales tax vendor status) to give and get effective exemption certificates, as well as any special permits/licenses you may need based on the nature of the goods.

Re: Reselling wholesale merchandise online

It's a good idea to form a business entity to resell goods online (or offline). You will also need to talk to the NY Dept. of Tax & Finance about sales tax.

Best wishes,
