How to Get a Reseller License in Nebraska
To sell goods in Nebraska, resellers must obtain a Sales Tax Permit (Nebraska Identification Number) from the Nebraska Department of Revenue. Registration is free and completed online through the Nebraska Tax Application portal. Online registration processes immediately or within 5 business days, while paper Form 20 takes about 2 weeks.
You will need:
- Federal EIN
- SSN for owners/partners/officers
- Business name and address
- Entity structure
- Estimated yearly sales tax liability
Once registered, your permit does not expire and remains valid until ownership changes. To make tax-exempt purchases for resale, use Form 13 (Nebraska Resale or Exempt Sale Certificate). Nebraska's state sales tax rate is 5.5%, with local rates adding 0.5% to 2%, bringing total rates up to 8% in some areas.
