You cannot use your resale certificate to buy items youll use in the normal course of business, such as office supplies.

What is the difference between vendor use tax and consumer use tax?

Therefore, if a vendor charges a customer sellers use tax at the appropriate rate, the customer will not have a consumers use tax obligation.
