If you want to buy wholesale in Arizona and resell — on Amazon, in a store, or online — you need two things the state checks for: a Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License and a resale certificate. Get them right and you buy inventory tax-free and collect sales tax legally; get them wrong and you overpay tax or risk penalties from Arizona Dept of Revenue.
In Arizona, the Arizona Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License is issued by Arizona Dept of Revenue, registering you to collect the state’s 5.6% sales tax. A resale certificate then lets your suppliers sell to you tax-free for resale. Most resellers also form an LLC (~$50) and get an EIN. Arizona levies a state income tax.
Every step is a place people get stuck, overpay, or make a mistake that costs them their Amazon account. You don’t have to do any of it yourself.
