New Hampshire is one of the five US states with no statewide sales tax — so there is no New Hampshire resale certificate to get, because there is no state sales tax to be exempted from. That answer surprises suppliers less than it surprises new resellers: distributors deal with buyers from no-tax states all the time. Here is what to send them instead.
New Hampshire imposes no general sales tax, issues no sales tax permits, and has no resale certificate; there is nothing to present for in-state purchases.
N/A in NH; out-of-state suppliers’ acceptance of any NH documentation depends on the supplier’s state (NH is not on the MTC certificate’s state list and is not an SST member).
Most will; a minority insist on a certificate from a sales-tax state and may charge tax or decline the exemption otherwise. Supplier profiles in our catalogue record documentation requirements where we have verified them.
When out-of-state suppliers ask for a certificate, NH resellers typically provide the MTC Uniform form annotated that NH has no sales tax, the supplier’s own exemption form, or proof of NH business registration – and if refused, register for a permit in the supplier’s/ship-to state. Some strict states (e.g., California-style rules) will still require ship-to-state registration.
