Using your Nevada certificate

- Give the vendor the signed certificate before or at the time of the sale; a certificate produced after the fact is often rejected.

Nevada resale certificate FAQ
What form do I use for a Nevada resale certificate?
Nevada publishes its own resale certificate form, and vendors expect to see it. Our generator completes the official form with your business, permit, and purchase details and produces a signed PDF.
Does Nevada accept the MTC uniform resale certificate?
Yes. Nevada accepts the Multistate Tax Commission's Uniform Sales and Use Tax Certificate, which is convenient when you buy from vendors in several states. The Streamlined Sales Tax exemption certificate is accepted as well.
Can an out-of-state business use a resale certificate in Nevada?
Generally not. Nevada expects the buyer to hold a Nevada sales tax permit, so out-of-state resellers who buy here regularly should register with the state first.
Can I give a vendor one blanket resale certificate in Nevada?
Yes. A blanket certificate in Nevada covers every qualifying purchase from that vendor going forward, typically described as "All tangible personal property for resale".
How long is a Nevada resale certificate valid?
Nevada does not put a fixed expiration on resale certificates. They remain valid as long as the buyer's permit is active and the information on the certificate is still accurate.
