Sales Tax & Reseller Permits in Alaska

The State of Alaska currently does not have a sales and use tax, therefore there is no state issued reseller permit. However, some local jurisdictions impose local sales taxes, so if your business is operated locally you should check with your local jurisdiction what are the requirements.

For more information visit the Alaska Department of Commerce and Economic Development’s web page for municipal taxation rates and polices.

Q: What if I was asked by my supplier to provide a reseller permit for my company in order to qualify for wholesale prices for reselling purposes?

A: Since your business is based in Alaska it should be sufficient to supply the requesting party with your Alaska registration papers, in order to prove them your company has no obligation to collect sales tax to begin with.
