A tax clearance certificate shows you have met Arizona tax obligations. Other names for it are Arizona Certificate of Good Standing, Tax Status Letter, Certificate of Status, Letter of Good Standing, Certificate of Account Status or Entity Status Letter. The Arizona Department of Revenue issues tax status compliance certificates.
Resale and Sales Tax Certificates
Businesses with a resale certificate don’t collect sales tax. Instead, they charge sales tax to their customers. Sales tax exemption certificates legally exempt buyers from paying sales tax. A resale certificate differs from a tax ID number. Your business’s Tax Identification Number (TIN) goes on federal tax returns and state tax returns. The resale number involves state sales tax.
Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) License
You need an Arizona sales tax permit to sell online in Arizona. To get a TPT license, register using the Arizona Joint Tax Application (JT-1) from the Department of Revenue. This also provides your TPT number. Transaction Privilege Tax (TPT) functions like a sales tax charged to vendors for the privilege of doing business. It gets passed to customers.
To get an Arizona sales tax certificate, complete Form JT-1/UC-001 for the Revenue Department and Department of Economic Security. This registers you for a TPT License at the same time.
