How to Get a Reseller License in Minnesota
To sell taxable goods in Minnesota, you must obtain a Sales and Use Tax Permit from the Minnesota Department of Revenue. Registration is free and completed online through Minnesota e-Services. Processing typically takes within 10 business days.
You will need:
- Federal Employer Identification Number (EIN)
- Business entity information
- SSN of owners/officers
- NAICS code
- Estimated monthly tax liability
Once registered, your permit does not expire and requires no renewal as long as your business operates without ownership changes. To make tax-exempt purchases for resale, use Form ST3 (Certificate of Exemption). Minnesota's state sales tax rate is 6.875%, with local rates adding up to 2% in some areas.
