Does a South Carolina reseller permit protect your personal assets?
No. A permit registers you for sales tax; it does not put anything between your business and your personal assets. If that matters to you, forming an LLC in South Carolina costs $125 in state fees plus our $100.
What else does South Carolina require of an LLC?
South Carolina requires no annual report and a registered agent at all times, plus sales tax registration if you sell taxable goods.
Annual report
South Carolina does not require an annual report from LLCs unless the LLC is taxed as a corporation, in which case the filing goes to the Department of Revenue with the tax return. More on South Carolina annual reports.
Registered agent
Every South Carolina LLC has to name one. It can be you at no cost if you have a street address in the state. Ours is $99 a year and optional, with no first year that quietly becomes a renewal.
Trade name, if you use one
South Carolina registers trade names at the county level, so there is no single state fee. South Carolina does not register trade names at the state level. Contact us and we will quote your county by hand.
What else do people ask about South Carolina reseller permits?
$50 to the South Carolina Department of Revenue, plus our $50 to prepare and file it. $100 in total.
Usually not. A reseller permit registers you with the South Carolina Department of Revenue to collect and remit sales tax and to buy inventory for resale without paying tax on it. A business license is a separate permission to operate, often issued by a city or county. A few states fold both into one application; most do not.
You register where you have nexus, which is a tax question about where your business has enough presence or sales to owe the state something. Physical presence in South Carolina creates it; so can crossing a sales threshold from out of state. That is a question for your accountant, not for us. Most sellers start with their home state and add others as they grow.
