Hi rsc1925m, thanks for post the question.
When you purchase an item for resale, it becomes your inventory. You may pay sales tax at purchase if you do not have a resale license. But there is no income tax for purchases.
Generally, when you sell inventory for a profit: sales less cost less administrative expenses = net profit which is subject to income tax and self employment tax.
Hope the above clarifies.
