What are the implications of registering for a Sale &amp; Use Tax certificate? <br /><br /> It looks like I'm going to need this certificate (DTF-17, I believe) before I deal with most wholesalers. I'm having trouble wrapping my head around the purpose/implications of all these wonky tax forms, especially the "sales &amp; use" tax. Could somebody possibly explain this one to me in my right-brained kind of English? What will it mean once tax time rolls around in April?<br> <br> Unfortunately, I was not born with a gift for this kind of stuff, and I envy all of you who were. So thanks in advance for your big brains! post:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.100288 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:09:14 -0800 kmtiszen business ebay tax finance salesanduse license smallbusiness taxforms http://ask.metafilter.com/100288/Help-me-make-sense-of-small-businss-tax-forms#1458140 I'd like to amend my question by saying that I'll be focusing on the sale of clothing. I believe that may qualify for some kind of exemption under a certain sale price. Yah? comment:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.100288-1458140 Wed, 27 Aug 2008 20:12:51 -0800 kmtiszen
