    Default California Sales Tax

    Any advice on when sales tax is due?

    My kit is registered and all items purchased.

    Still a little way to go before the kit is finished and ready to fly.

    Should I wait until the DAR inspection or for the BOE to contact me?

    What do they need as evidence? I have copies of all my sales orders and receipts/invoices from other vendors in and out of state. I don't seem to have actual invoices from CC. Do I need to obtain those too?

    Thanks for any advice.

    Default Re: California Sales Tax

    Here's what the CA Franchise Tax Board says:

    You may owe use tax on purchases you made from out-of-state or Internet sellers. Use tax is similar to the sales tax paid on purchases you make in California. You may report use tax on your income tax return instead of filing a use tax return with the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration. To report use tax on your income tax return, you may use either the Use Tax Worksheet or the Use Tax Lookup Table. Both are included in the tax booklet instructions.

    You must pay California use tax when you purchase out-of-state items by telephone, Internet, mail, or in person and both of the following apply:

    • The seller does not collect California sales or use tax.
    • You use, give away, store, or consume the item in this state.
