Sales Tax

CDTFA registration and the returns that follow, including the districts most filers miss.

The first meeting to start this service is free.

What it is

Registering for a seller's permit, collecting the right rate for where the sale actually happens, and filing the periodic return with the CDTFA.

Who needs it

  • Anyone selling physical goods in California
  • An online seller shipping into California districts with their own add-on rates
  • A business that has received a CDTFA notice or is facing an audit

What we do

  • Register for the seller's permit
  • Work out which district rates apply to where you actually ship
  • Prepare and file the periodic returns
  • Respond to CDTFA notices and prepare for audit where one is opened

What to bring

  • Gross sales for the period, split by where goods were delivered
  • Any resale certificates you have accepted
  • Your seller's permit number, if already registered

What happens next

District rates are where most of the errors are, so the first thing we check is where your goods actually go.
