May I accept resale certificates from unlicensed out-of-state customers?

No. Retailers licensed and remitting taxes in other states may apply to the Maryland Comptroller's Office for a refund.

However, an out-of-state vendor who has been issued a temporary permit to collect the Maryland tax may use the number on that permit to make tax-free purchases for resale at the show for which the permit was issued. Temporary permits bear six-digit numbers and are issued by the comptroller's Special Events Section.
