If you can prove that items that you are purchasing, you are retailing, you shouldn't be paying tax on those items anyways. It blows my mind that supply stores in PA will not sell to you tax exempt even if you are purchasing 20 bottles of one color of polish and it's obvious that you are reselling them. Soooooooooooo PA gets sales tax twice, once when you purchase the item for wholesale and then again when you sell it, so in essense, most salons pay sales tax on one and a half of the value of the retail item. I adjust my totals in the end so that they are only getting what they SHOULD have gotten. They can go ahead and audit me because I can prove how much I paid for sales tax originally, which should have been tax exempt.
