West Virginia Seller’s Permit, Wholesale License & Reseller License

Is West Virginia a favorable place to start a business? There are more opportunities here than you might think. The state has seen above-average economic activity in recent years, and business-related costs are lower here than in most of the U.S. The city of Morgantown, WV has been named by Forbes as one of the best small towns in the country for doing business. 

As is generally the case across the U.S., West Virginia requires in-state business owners to apply for certain permits and licenses in order to conduct operations here. For retail companies, one of the most important business procedures is the collection of sales tax on customer transactions and then the remitting of these funds to the state. In order to do this legally, you must obtain a West Virginia business registration certificate.

In many states, managing this procedure requires a business to obtain a specific license, which can be called a seller’s permit, wholesale license, resale license, sales tax permit, sales and use tax permit, or reseller permit. In West Virginia, a business obtains a sales and use tax account when they register with the state.

That might seem confusing, but there’s no need to worry. With FastFilings, we have all the information you need to apply for a business registration certificate. This certificate acts as your West Virginia seller’s permit. And you can apply in just a few minutes of your time.

Which Businesses Need a Seller's Permit in West Virginia?

Generally speaking, a business that sells or leases tangible personal property is required to have a wholesale license in West Virginia. Certain physical items are also exempt from West Virginia sales and use tax. These include: medical drugs and prosthetic devices, lottery tickets, and newspapers (if delivered by route carriers).

Remote sellers without a physical presence in the state must collect sales tax if they generate more than $100,000 in sales per year in West Virginia or have at least 200 distinct transactions.

Businesses that provide services are also generally subject to this requirement. Exempt services include data processing, real property contracting, and sales of video arcade games and motion picture films.

You will need a separate business registration certificate for each of your West Virginia locations. Certificates are non-transferrable and must be displayed at all times.

West Virginia Seller's Permit vs. Resale Certificate in WV

A West Virginia resale certificate grants a business the right to purchase goods tax-free so long as these items are to be resold later. It should not be confused with a West Virginia seller’s permit, a sales and use tax account, or anything of that nature. A resale certificate in West Virginia is officially called a tax exemption certificate or a Certificate of Exemption.
