The 3 Best Semi-Automatic Espresso Machines
Whether you're a long-time barista or a new espresso drinker, the best semi-automatic espresso machines can give you quick and easy access to your favorite drinks — cappuccinos, lattes and more! But, since semi-automatic espresso machines require a bit more work than automatic ones (as the name implies), it's important you choose the right one for you.
Keep your budget top of mind. If you're willing to spend the money, you'll find a few standout options that give you the freedom to make the espresso your own, but are nearly as easy to use and convenient as an automatic machine. Since you'll have to do your own grinding and dosing, finding a machine with a built-in grinder or an automatic dial to control the grind of your coffee is clutch. Less expensive models will leave you to your own devices, so you'll have to keep better track of the dosages when you're perfecting the strength of your espresso.
If you're shopping for a coffee shop or restaurant, you may want to consider a dual boiler machine, which simultaneously can make espresso and steam milk, allowing you to turn around the most espresso-based drinks in the quickest period of time.
Editor's note: What you really get when you spend the extra money is a longer-lasting machine. Unsurprisingly, a $500 machine can last years or even decades in your kitchen. If your budget won't allow, you can still get a cheaper model that'll serve you delicious espresso in the short term, but likely will need to be replaced down the line.
But, let's get you caffeinated. Now presenting, the best semi-automatic espresso machines.
1. The Best Overall, All Things Considered
With nearly 2,000 reviews and a 4.4-star rating on Amazon, this Breville semi-automatic espresso machine is a standout option. Not only does it have a built-in conical grinder for dosing your coffee, but you can even adjust the amount of coffee it grinds with the twist of the dial. This gives you all of the freedom of a semi-automatic machine, but all of the convenience of an automatic model.
It has a powerful, 1600-watt motor and a digitally-controlled temperature setting that deliver consistently delicious espresso. You can easily switch from one shot to a double shot with the push of the button, and the steam wand couldn't be simpler to use: Simply pour your milk into the (included!) stainless steel milk jug and bring it up to the steam wand. The longer you leave it in, the more texturized and thicker your milk will be. Even better, it comes with a self-cleaning feature and cleaning discs and tablets, as well as a brush. While this option is pricey, it's hands down the best one to buy if you're looking for a long-lasting and easy-to-use machine with plenty of included accessories and attachments.
2. The Most Affordable
If budget is a concern, this affordable semi-automatic espresso machine will still serve up quality espresso for a (very tiny) fraction of the price. A one-touch control panel on the side allows you to switch from a single to a double shot, and a removable water tank in the back heats up to brew your espresso. Fill the separate tank with milk and adjust the froth dial to determine if you're making a latte, a cappuccino, or something in between. Then press a simple button to steam it. Unlike some of the more expensive semi-automatic espresso machines, you'll have to grind and dose the espresso beans yourself. Since this machine doesn't come with one, you may need to purchase your own coffee grinder. (Would you look at that? Here are the best coffee grinders under $100.)
This espresso maker wields 1040 watts of power, making it the weakest of the machines on this list. But for the price, you won't find a better model. Nearly 3,000 reviewers have tried it out and have given it a 3.9-star rating on Amazon. Their biggest complaint? They loved it while it lasted but, for many people, it kicked the bucket after one year.
3. The Best For Cafes Or Restaurants
While a near-$2000 price tag might seem exorbitant, this semi-automatic espresso maker is the best if you're making professional-quality espresso drinks for a cafe or restaurant. It has a laundry list of features that make it the easiest and fastest machine for making a lot of espresso. First, its built-in grinder makes it super simple for you to adjust the strength of your espresso as needed, or set it and forget it. Second, two stainless steel boilers allow you to simultaneously make your espresso and steam your milk, so you won't waste any time making cappuccinos or lattes.
The digital LCD screens clearly display the temperature of the steam (which can be adjusted), the coarseness of your grounds, and the number of seconds before you have to pull. As with any machine on this list, just push a button to switch from a single to a double shot. The long and short? This powerhouse option takes the guesswork out of making espresso with a semi-automatic machine, but still allows you to customize your drink to your liking. And, because its ease-of-use is unbeatable, no matter the skill level of the operator your drink will come out delicious every time.

ASTRONAUT REID WISEMAN has only been on the International Space Station for a week and already he's delivering the goods.
Wiseman has tweeted the first Vine from Space; a time-lapse of a single earth orbit by the ISS, with the sun in constant sight.
Wiseman explains in his tweet that the reason for the sun never setting is because the space station is "flying parallel w/terminator line".
A few days ago he had given a heads up as to what that actually means:
Now that Commander Chris Hadfield is back on solid ground after months of entertaining and educating us with his ISS tweets and videos, maybe Wiseman is your new must-have Twitter follow?
DailyEdge.ie are fans already. Fascinating stuff:
He's even done a Space selfie:

"You can't love me,you can't talk about me and you certainly will not search me if I am gone"
"You mean, when you are gone" , she corrected him
He frowned. Did she even understand what he had just said , he wondered.
As if reading his mind, she smiled and typed a little more
"You can not stop me from loving you ,rest I will promise to follow. But am telling you, this is not the last time you will hear from me"and then she logged out from that id forever. She knew he would delete his account immediately.
Years later she published a book and her interviews filled the papers. He smiled looking at her photograph. He would have to read the book; she was bound to write about him, to him.

Book review : The homing Pigeons by Sid Bahri
One look at the cover and I was in love with it. Add to the fact that I love Pigeons. [ They are said to live with one partner all the life and can find their mate from anywhere. ]
Knowing this, I expected story of two such people who like pigeons seek love and finally find it right where they began looking for it.
Aditya , a sikh guy whose name was converted in his early years is an ambitious , proud and kind person who is forced to make some choices against his values and morals.
Radhika , a girl from small town who married for all wrong reasons and circumstances , widowed at the age of thirty tow is unsure how to spend the life ahead even if she is finally free to do anything.
These are the pigeons who meet , depart , meet again , love , hurt , still love and still miss each other , no matter when and where life takes them. Sid has beautifully linked the memories and flashback scenes to the events in present. hoe certain things and days are meant to be dedicated to only your past and nothing makes sense those times.
Along the protagonists , the other characters are as much true to their character sketch and nature as detailed by the author. I like each one of them in whatever role they were assigned – the servants , the friends , the people who became catalyst in the events unfolding in way they did or even the people who remotely had no influence on the events but were still a part of it.
I really enjoyed the alternating narration and the flashback modes 'cause it kept me wondering what changed these two nice people to become who they are right now. It was like meeting them at a coffee place and some how listening to their life story. I judged them on some pages , cried for Radhika at another , smiled for Aditya's love and there was some satisfaction when the book ended.
Like , there was still hope for love. Hope for second and third chances , if only you believed.
My rating : 9/10

"I will always be with you" , It was a promise they had both made. She skimmed through the pages of her diary , trying to read through her flood of thoughts, finding it hard to imagine, she missed the signs in plain sight. Tears fell on the pink pages, turning them a shade darker yet the ink stayed. Her frail body swayed with each sob yet she kept looking at the cellphone screen, expecting any text or call from him. She expected his scent to fill the doorway any moment, but he did not come or call.
"I will always be with you" , It was a promise they had both made and yet she had strayed. She did not deserve being forgiven, yet she hoped he would understand. Just once, she cried, just once.

I drink
I drink.
You I drink from the night;
Myself I relish,like the old wine;
I drink your shadows in the light;
My soul i refill and feed upon alike;
I drink.
Shared with Open Link night – The only place for which I rarely miss writing and reading !
"I always thought, you would be married by now." , he said, smiling at her.
"I hoped so too", she replied, avoiding his gaze.
"Then why not ? I told you I don't love you", he said little impatiently.
"I do"
"You should have said , I did , not do"
And they both laughed. All was still same.
This was inspired by my own story "Wait" , for which I thought this could be an alternate ending.

Often he thinks
Often he thinks,
how she would remember him;
the voice that filled her
or the silence she talked,
the images on her laptop
or the blurred ones in heart,
the kiss of first meeting
or the awkward hug of last,
Will he find himself
Dissected on canvas sheets?
as she tries to paint the feelings
her words failed to express,
Will he be branded as the lava
that burnt into her defenses
and left her marked forever
without fear of consequence.
or will he deserve forgiveness
in the name of forgotten past
and be just a name to her
not even the way she called.
And he laughs loudly
at his desperate thoughts
that walked away to be forgotten
and now desire not to be lost.
This poem was inspired from the lines
"Will he find himself,
Dissected on canvas sheets?"
from a poem by MindlovesMisery .

text: Public notice to all after the October event. The current event model will be changed for only special events. Those special and staggered events will resume after the entropia event season in Q1 of 2016. With that being said, effective November 1st, tax on the land area will be reduced to 4% during non-event months as we will not be paying out that 1%+ in a large prize pool. It has taken over a year but I believe that I have built, with your help and dedication, land areas that are fun, competitive, and rewarding. Between big industries rewards, weekly grinders, and the additional land area incentives, I believe that khorum coast and songkra valley offer some of the best opportunities in Entropia Universe. I hope that over time, I will be able to bring these opportunities to other planets so that we can improve EU as a whole. Lastly to avoid confusion, the October event will continue as scheduled.

A Lesson in ONOMATOPOEIA
Whether you've stumbled upon this section of my website by accident, through Following me (see below to Follow my blog if you aren't already), through the WP Newsfeed, or if you zapped one of the QR codes in my latest publication, WELCOME!
I'm a romantic comedy author, sappy poet, English teacher, happy wifey, mother of two, hopeful dreamer, and all around spinner of snark. My recent publication, Come Write with Me: POETRY Workbook & Journal (For Teens & Adults) is live on AMAZON and contains all kinds of writerly inspiration. You'll find poetic-device-driven prompts, literary tools, word lists, creative writing exercises, and more, along with journal pages for your own poetic explorations. It is currently under $10 and makes for a perfect gift for that teenager or adult in your life that loves to write, or maybe, you just want a copy all to yourself. 😉 No matter, my workbook is filled with QR codes that direct you to my website, expanding on the lesson at hand and offering even more prompts for my beloved writers to use, as you will see below:
Onomatopoeias fall under the poetic device of Imagery, which taps into all five senses. The star of the show for this term is sound. This device uses words that actually imitate the sound they're describing. Using words as sound effects makes for an imaginative playground in your head. Wrap some SLAM poetry around a handful of Onomatopoeias, and your competition doesn't stand a chance the minute you step up to the mic. This poetic device beckons to be spoken aloud. But, if you're the silent type, that's okay. You do you. Just feel free to load up your poems with words that trickle off the tongue with every intention of evoking emotion, or at least let others whisper them while they read your work.
Lots of people think of words like, "pow," "zoom," "boink,"–or any other 1960s-Batman-television-show variety–when they think of onomatopoeias. Those are fine. Maybe even a little, meh. I challenge you to level up with some better choices that serve a stronger purpose in the poems you write. Choose onomatopoeias that actually have meanign and provoke sound imagery within a setting you've created in your poem that includes other senses, too. My workbook and journal has an extensive list of words to use for every sense. You should take a peek, and use as many as you want.
If the example provided by Poe doesn't do it for you, check out the complete version of his poem, "The Bells." I wanted to use the full poem, but since it's super long—I took a pass worried that my readers would lose interest and want to get right down to writing instead of reading the whole thing. "The Bells," though, is the quintessential example of all things onomatopoeia, so when you have the time of day (or night—this is Poe we're talking about, night is a good time to set the mood), then do an Internet search for it and enjoy hearing all the different sounds of the types of bells he celebrates in his poem.
For this exercise, here's a list of onomatopoeias that would love to hang out in a verse that comes to life with other sensory details:
Trickle Sputter Squeak Crackle Clap Squeal
Hush Howl Sizzle Rev Woof Mumble
Gurgle Warble Smash Ring Splash Click
Stutter Whisper Whine Fizz Tick-Tock Thud
Gulp Chug Slurp Rattle Slosh Clip
Here are some scenarios to bring to life with a few sound descriptors:
A lifeboat with two survivors drifting on the turbulent sea, pitch black, nothing but stars …
A hungry wolf stalking its prey, ribbons of neon green flowing above them, the full moon dances with the Northern Lights …
A field of tulips in every color imaginable, a swarm of bees feast on all the nectar …
A man stands in the rain outside her window, drench, shaking, wondering if she knows …
A shark cruises the shoreline, his fin slicing the undulating waves, a surfer mounts his board …
Now, go forth, my word-whisperer, and make some noise all up in those sweeeet poems of yours. I can't wait for you to share your work with me!

Current Season 2019-20
Voices of Concinnity
Voices of Concinnity will present an inclusive, interactive, and innovative program three different occasions across the state.
Old, New, Borrowed, and... Long Overdue:
an interactive tour of choral music by exploring the footnotes
This choral concert will explore the "footnotes" by including the interesting tidbits that lend to the intriguing journey some of these songs have taken, such as Allegri's famous "Miserere", as well as the inclusion of composers who may have been relegated to the footnotes historically, such as Rhienberger, a brilliant composer considered of secondary importance by his contemporaries, or Cozzolani, a prominent 17th century composer of which you may not have heard. The inclusion of living composers, featuring Dunphy, Woo, and Quintana, rounds out this captivating program. This performance will be green by having the concert program available digitally and the audience will have the opportunity to engage with an app specifically designed for this program. The result will be an eclectic mix of artfully crafted choral selections, compelling stories of the music and their composers, and conversation starters by inviting the audience to explore inclusion in choral music through a little trivia.
Other Events we are singing this 2019-20 Season:
Choral Evensong at St. John's Episcopal Church in West Hartford
Sunday, February 23, 2020 at 5:00pm

Julien Libeer, Piano
"The complete musician, uniting at any musical moment a true knowledge of the piece, a solid intellectual grasp and an infallible instinct for the impalpable." Maria João Pires
Ever since receiving the prestigious Juventus Award - previously awarded to e.g. Piotr Anderszewski and Emmanuel Pahud - at the age of 20, Julien Libeer has been described by national and international press as one of the most remarkable musicians of the younger generation.
Since then, he has been the guest of the Palais des Beaux-Arts in Brussels, London's King's Place Concert Hall, the Théâtre de la Ville (Paris), and the Menton and Radio France Montpellier festival (France).Starting 2012, Maria João Pires takes him under her wing and proposes to share the stage with him on regular occasions. After acclaimed debuts in the Palau de la Musica Catalana (Barcelona) and the Auditorio Nacional (Madrid), further concerts lead him to the Barbican Hall in London and the Amsterdam Concertgebouw in the Master pianists series, among others.
An ardent chamber musician, Julien Libeer studied with the Artemis and Alban Berg String Quartets, and performed with artists such as Augustin Dumay, Julian Steckel, Alissa Margulis, Alena Baeva…
The 2014-2015 season marks the beginning of long term collaborations with, among others, Camille Thomas and Lorenzo Gatto.
After finishing his studies with distinguished professors Daniel Blumenthal (Brussels) and Jean Fassina (Paris), Julien Libeer becomes 'artist in residence' at the Queen Elisabeth College of Music. He works for two years under the supervision of Abdel-Rahman el Bacha, before joining the class of Maria João Pires, until 2014. He has benefitted from regular advice of Dmitri Bashkirov.

Austria's imperial capital Vienna, known locally as Wien, is the ideal destination for photo opportunities. Whether you are taking landscape images, candid photos, or selfies with friends there is an abundance of photo spots to choose from.
Once the seat of the Austro-Hungarian empire, Vienna is full of breath-taking palaces, churches, gardens, and more. Austria's rich culture and history is reflected in Vienna's infrastructure and buildings today. Showing off a range of stunning styles of Gothic, Medieval and Baroque palaces, churches and other grand monuments. Making Vienna the perfect place for your Instagram! We have made it easy for you to get the top photos out of your trip, by compiling a list of the best photo locations in Vienna.
Within the Stephan Platz zone at the heart of the Vienna city centre is the most iconic building of the capital, St. Stephen's Cathedral. The Gothic cathedral with Baroque fittings is lavishly decorated outside and in - ideal for countless photo opportunities. The most renowned feature of this masterpiece is the south tower nicknamed 'Steffl', standing at 136 metres. The Cathedral is home to the 'Giant's Door', North Tower (with a viewing platform), High Altar, and Catacombs.
The sheer size of Schönbrunn Palace is awe-inspiring with 1,441 rooms. Originally the main summer residence of the Habsburg rulers, this Baroque palace residing in Schlosspark has the most impressive and imposing fronts of all the Viennese palaces. There are many good Instagram spots at this location inside the palace and outside in the Privy Garden, Orangery, and Maze.
Schönbrunn's Schlosspark is a whopping 1.2 km garden (it is easy to get lost in this beautiful park) with landscaped beds, sculptures, follies, fountains, tropical house and the Gloriette café building. Wedged between Vienna's Zoo and the Schönbrunn palace.
Our pièce de résistance is the Neptune Fountain. Nestled at the bottom of the hill where the stunning Gloriette café sits. The fountain is of Neptune with his seahorses looking down over a large stone pool with shells and water flowing. Some photography tips we recommend is to not just get a photo at the front of the fountain, but to venture up and behind for an image looking as one with the sculptures.
This beautiful park pays honour to the celebrated composer Mozart. With a 7.5-meter-high statue of the composer himself, and an art nouveau conservatory. Our favourite spot for photos in the Burggarten is the flower arrangement of a treble clef music symbol.
The acclaimed Spanish Riding School is an Austrian institution devoted to Lipizzaner horse training and classical dressage. Daily performances are held but get in quick as tickets go fast! You are not allowed to take pictures inside at the performance, but there is a perfect photo opportunity with the Hofburg palace next door.
The Hofburg, built in the 13th century, is the former main imperial palace of the Habsburg family and now home to the President of Austria. The white curved front façade with green domes is a top spot for your holiday snaps. The Hofburg also is host to the imperial treasury - home to the Austrian Crown jewels.
If you are looking to snap something more modern, then the quirky Hundertwasser House is a stop for you. This unique apartment block has its own wacky design with multiple colours splashed throughout. It is dotted with balconies and rooftops with more than 200 trees and shrubs. And the residents have free rein to add to their apartments exterior design – truly making it a sight to see. After viewing you can head opposite to the Hundertwasser Village which is open to visitors.
Yes, another palace, but not to be missed! The Ornate Belvedere Palace is not the only feast for your eyes at this photo location. It is home to the famous art nouveau painting 'the kiss' by Gustav Klimt. Though photos are not allowed with the real deal, the room next door has a life size mock painting for you to snap away with.

3 players Barcelona must look to sign in this January transfer window
- An insight into 3 signings Barcelona should sign this winter
Barcelona is having a mixed season of sorts. They are on top of La Liga and topped their Champions League group, but their performances have been less than convincing. Ernesto Valverde has earned a lot of flak from a section of Barcelona supporters for being over-reliant on Lionel Messi and being conservative in his tactics, especially in away games. Summer signing Antoine Griezmann has not yet settled into the squad with Valverde deploying him wide on the left usually. Ousmane Dembele's injury issues continue while the aging Luis Suarez is losing his sharpness with each passing day. There's not much creativity in the midfield and the trio of Arturo Vidal, Ivan Rakitic, and Sergio Busquets are in their 30s.
Here are 3 signings that Barcelona need this winter to increase the chances of winning all the trophies that they are competing for, both domestically and across Europe.
#3 Donny Van de Beek
The young Dutchman broke onto the scene last season with his string of magnificent performances for both Ajax Amsterdam and The Netherlands. The 22-year-old attacking midfielder is known for his goal-scoring abilities alongwith the creative assists that he comes up with regularly. He plays a pretty offensive role on the field and has excellent ball control. He can link up well from the midfield to the forward line-up and can make a killer pass if possible. His late runs into the box are dangerous and this often leaves him unmarked with him finding the back of the net. An intelligent player on the field, Barcelona should make a move for him which will reunite him with Frenkie de Jong and the Spanish giants can exploit the already existing chemistry the duo have amongst themselves. Van de Beek is a target of arch-rivals Real Madrid as well since last summer and Barcelona should act quickly should they decide on signing the player.

How to get better at English WritingWhat makes you better at writing English?
There are 6 different writing skills if English is your second tongue.
Much is written at the school. Writing an essay, lab report or case report can be frightening if English is not your native tongue. There are many things you can do to improve your English while studying. Katherine Firth, a professor at La Trobe's Graduate Research School, has compiled a helpful guide to writing a Ph.
Most of Katherine's advice is useful for all writing tasks, regardless of your English proficiency levels. If you are able to speak as much English as possible, you will become acquainted with the phraseology, become acquainted with frequently used metaphor and expand your lexicon. In simple terms, the more you browse, the more you learnt about the English world.
All sorts of writing, not just your text books. Good literature, bios and even journal essays will help you learn English, so make the most of your academic year. Don't be a perfectist when you write your first design. These councils apply to all human beings and all forms of writing.
When you are not sure which English term to use, simply type the next one in your mother tongue and proceed with your design. When you have completed your design, go over your work again and substitute these words with their English counterparts. Tip: It can be useful to emphasize or underscore words you are writing in your mother tongue - so you can be sure not to overlook them.
Writing well is straightforward, clear and legible. There are some who think that using long words and a very official tongue makes them seem more academically, but this is not so. If necessary, use terminology from your subject area, but keep the remainder of your speech straight. The more you practice, the more you will do.
Whenever you take a note, e-mail or even text, you have the opportunity to practice your English. Making a short note every night about the days you had is a great way to integrate the practice into your workday. You have a family member or boyfriend who speaks English fluently?
Inquire if you want to share mail or e-mails to help you write better. You will be in the midst of those who can help and assist you at the school. Several thousand foreigners are attending Australian universities, and many of them probably have the same feeling as you. If you are in a difficult position, e.g. if you are writing an article in your second tongue, contact your peers, teachers and mentors for help and guidance.
If you share your work with your teacher and your family and ask for their comments, you can also improve your work. Visit our La Trobe Times and our worldwide online Studentenblog. Here you will find information about workshop and event where you can get together with other people. There are many English writing materials available at the school.
These are some of the features you can use as a La Trobe disciple to enhance your writing skills: Are you not sure how an article should be constructed? Our Achieve@Uni Writing course guides you through the essential and gives you useful tips that are tailor-made for your field of studies. At any time, our committed International Students Services staff is there to help and advise you.
The Peer Learning Advisers are high-performing student consultants who are there to help and advise you. because they' re undergraduates. The Trobe's Skills Essentials website provides a lot of useful information. Using English philology for writing and writing pages is particularly useful.
On the Student Learning page you will find an outline of the offered supports. After all, the best tip for writing in your second tongue is to stop worrying about it. As Dr. Firth says, most foreign college graduates are much more concerned about their writing than they need to be.
Indeed, when she is reading her students' works, she thinks they are generally well-recorded. As a matter of fact, foreign undergraduates happen at the same rates as native undergraduates and often completed faster. Do you want to get the most out of your college years? To learn more about Australian affairs, welfare and assistance service, please check out the La Trobe University website for undergraduates.

According to TaxJar.com, they receive tons of questions regarding reseller certificates (AKA reseller's permits) every week. Here are the most commonly asked questions and answers here in our Resale Certificate FAQ list.
Important to Note: Like just about every aspect of sales tax, laws, rules and regulations regarding resale certificates vary from state to state. This post will offer up general guidelines, but if you have specific questions - Please contact your state or getting in touch with a vetted sales tax expert.
A resale certificate is a document that allows registered retailers to buy items for resale without paying sales tax on those items. Some states issue official resale certificates tailored to your business that can you print and give to your suppliers. Other states offer a template for you to fill out with your resale certificate number. Either way, you'll need to present some form of a resale certificate document to a supplier should you want to buy items for resale without paying sales tax on those items.
In most states, your sales tax registration number also doubles as your sales tax permit number. But not always. In some states, you are required to request a separate resale certificate. Before you try to use a resale certificate, check either TaxJar's State Resale Certificate blog posts or contact your state to determine what you need to present to buy items tax-free for resale.
Resale certificates are only to be used to buy items you intend to resale or component parts of items you intend to resale (Example: the wood used to make a table to sell.) Using a resale certificate to buy items tax free when you do not intend to sell them at retail is considered fraud – and nobody wants to deal with that!
No. You can only buy items that you intend to sell. Items like packing or office supplies that you will use to run your business are not considered items you intend to resale. (They can, however, be income tax deductions – but that's a topic for a different post on a different blog!)
No. Retailers may use their discretion when deciding whether or not to accept resale certificates. It is not illegal for a retailer to refuse to accept a resale certificate.
Famously, Target generally doesn't accept resale certificates from suspected resellers. This is thought to discourage retail arbitrage, and keep retail sales of in-demand products in Target stores.
Also, in many cases, retailers who accept false or expired resale certificates are on the hook for the sales tax they erroneously did not collect. This can make some retailers wary of being stuck with an extra sales tax bill. Fortunately, retailers can verify the validity of a resale certificate online in most states.
If you are required to pay sales tax on items that you turn around and sell at retail, you have options. You can sometimes reclaim the sales tax you paid. Read more in TaxJar's "Resellers: How to Recover Sales Tax Charged by Vendors" blog post.
Most of the time. But nine states will not allow retailers to accept out-of-state resale certificates. If you still wish to use a resale certificate in one of these states, one option is to register for a sales tax permit in that state. However, if you register for a sales tax permit in a state, you are also required to collect sales tax from buyer's in that state.
Generally, you will be required to pay use tax on an item if you do not resell it. Use tax is the amount of sales tax you would have paid on the item if you had bought it at retail. You generally remit use tax on your state income tax return.
As a retailer, a customer may present you with a resale certificate. In this case, you as the retailer are responsible for deciding whether or not the customer presenting you with the resale certificate is truly buying items for resale. (You can find out how to verify resale certificates in each state online here.) For example, if the customer's resale certificate says they own a furniture store, but they are buying household supplies, you may decide not to honor the sale. If you do accept a resale certificate that later turns out to be false, you may find yourself on the hook for paying the sales tax you didn't collect. Ouch!
You can read a whole lot more about this in our "What to Do if You Receive a Resale Certificate" blog post, and you can read a whole lot more about resale certificates by state here.

According to TaxJar.com, customers have many questions about how to get refunds of sales taxes paid to vendors or how to recover the tax that your business paid to vendors by passing the cost on to your customer. Both of these can be difficult questions to resolve because the rules can vary widely by state. Despite those obstacles, here are their thoughts:
The first question I normally ask people that call me on this issue is "Why are they charging you tax?" In most cases, the transactions involved are third-party drop shipments where the vendor has nexus in the ship-to state (and must charge tax) but the retailer (that's most likely you in this scenario) does not have nexus or is not able to provide the vendor with a resale exemption certificate that is valid in the ship-to state. As such, the retailer is charged sales tax based on the rate in the ship-to state on the wholesale cost of the shipment. That's even if you, as the retailer, are planning on reselling the products you bought and paid sales tax on.
The first step the retailer must take to avoid being charged tax is to provide their vendor with an exemption certificate that is valid in the ship to state. The validity of the certificate is based on the state law of the 'ship-to' state. Of the 45 states that have a state level sales tax, 35 of those states will accept the certificate of the retailer's 'home state.' (Here's a list of states who won't accept your out-of-state resale certificate.) Assuming that the retailer is registered in their home state, the first line of attack is to ensure that the retailer has provided their 'home state' resale certificate to their vendors to eliminate tax in those states.
In the 10 states that won't accept the home state resale certificate, the retailer is confronted with two choices. The first choice is to register in some or all of these 10 states so that your company can provide a valid resale certificate. In most cases, the act of registering will require that the retailer charge and collect the tax on the full retail sales price of the product sold.
If the retailer cannot provide their vendor a resale certificate that is valid in the ship-to state, the vendor has no choice but to charge tax on their sale to the retailer. Once tax is charged the question arises on how to recover the tax. For this article I will address the effectiveness of three following methods.
In one discussion I had with a retailer on this issue, they told me that they were just going include the phrase 'sales tax' and include the amount of tax that their vendor had charged. I strongly warned them that just labeling the tax charged to them by their vendor as 'sale tax' gives the impression to customers and to the state that the retailer is 'charging tax' to the customer and not just passing on the tax that was charged to them by their vendor. If that conclusion is reached, the state will expect that your company remit the tax that appears to have been collected and could even pursue significant penalties for collecting and not remitting tax.
For retailers are not registered for sales tax in the ship-to state where the vendor is charging sales tax, there is no 100% great way to recover sales tax charged by vendors. The retailer cannot file a refund claim and it cannot claim the tax charged on their return because they are not filing a return. One possible solution is to pass this tax on to the customer with a very clear indication on the invoice that the tax shown on the invoice is the tax charged to the retailer by their vendor. Even this method may not be acceptable in many states.
Depending on the amount of tax being charged to the retailer by their vendors, the retailer may need to evaluate the cost of registering and collecting the tax due against the amount of tax being charged to the retailer and possibly reducing the retailers profits.
