How to Get a Reseller License in Vermont

To sell goods in Vermont, resellers must register for a Vermont Business Tax Account with sales and use tax through the Vermont Department of Taxes. Registration is free and completed online through the myVTax portal. Processing takes 7-14 business days.

You will need:

• EIN (or SSN for sole proprietors)
• Business name and address
• Entity type
• Owner/officer details with SSN
• NAICS code
• Estimated quarterly sales tax liability

Once registered, you can issue Form S-3 (Vermont Sales Tax Exemption Certificate for Purchases for Resale) to make tax-exempt purchases. Your sales tax registration does not require renewal, though Form S-3 must be kept on file by sellers for three years. Vermont's state sales tax rate is 6%, with a total of 7% in municipalities that have adopted the Local Option Sales Tax.
