Apply for the wholesale license online using MyDORWAY or by paper with the SCDOR form. The fee is $50. If taxes are owed, they must be paid before the license is issued. The license is valid as long as the same business operates there. If ownership changes, a new license is required.
To buy wholesale without paying sales tax, wholesalers and distributors require a sales tax number. Often a South Carolina Resale Certificate is also required to document items purchased are for resale.
