SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER MART
NON-TAXABLE BADGE APPLICATION

The purchases made at the San Francisco Flower Mart will be used for resale purposes within your business. You must submit a copy of California Seller's Permit with your application.

Business Information

This application is for the issuance of a Badge for use by the Purchaser in the Markets. This Badge is not transferable and may not be used by anyone other than the Purchaser to whom it is issued.

Any violation of the laws governing Sales and Use Taxes of the State of California or any misuse or violation of the conditions of the Badge shall be reason for revocation of the Badge. The Badge is on loan and is the property of the CALIFORNIA FLOWER MARKET, INC. and SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER GROWERS ASSOCIATION, INC.

Purchases made in the Mart are primarily for resale in my regular course of business and should not be subject to sales tax. A RESALE CERTIFICATE (attached) will therefore be completed and submitted as part of this Badge Application.
