Do I need a Resale Certificate to sell online in Florida?

If I already have a State Sales Tax Certificate do I also need a State Resale Tax Certificate?

• I have a business in South Dakota. I have obtained my State Sales Tax Certificate. But now someone mentioned I may need a State Resale Tax Certificate as well? I'm making laptop sleeves from yarn. I understand it's stupid to pay tax on the item twice (once when I buy it and once when someone from SD buys my product) but I have no idea how many of these things I'm going to sell and the certificate costs $100.

• Answer:

  not sure I understand your question, when you register with the sales tax dept of your state and are assigned a number that is your number to use when you file your reports that includes the sale tax you have charged customers a sales tax resale certificate in most states is the same thing, you probably need to check your state web site for sales tax to see if there are two separate ones--not in Calif.
