California Business License??

Hi there!

When I started a month ago with PC I called my state's Board of Equalization and inquired whether I needed a business license or not. The lady on the phone told me that Independent Consultants generally do not since they are not resaling the merchandise and that PC Home office carries the license for all of us.

Well, I am trying to participate in a Vendor Booth (for the 1st time) and the lady in charge is telling me that I need to get the "resale license" number from our Home Office otherwise I cannot participate.

I explained to her that I am not resaling these items, but she will not let me participate without one.

Help! I emailed the Tax Dept at the Home Office to see if I'm able to obtain that information.

Hello neighbor!

This is what the BOE told me: All you need to do, is notify the event operators that you are not required to obtain a seller's permit, and you can cite section 6015 of the Revenue and Taxation Code as your reason. Pampered Chef is what we call a "6015"
retailer (just like Avon, Tupperware, Mary Kay, Amway, etc.). All the operator needs from is a statement that you are not required to have a seller's permit.

This was via email from the Board of Equalization.
